Saturday’s Bijou Holiday Faire was a great success! The PTA was beyond excited to bring this once-annual event back after a few years missed from COVID. And prior to that, the Faire always seemed to fall on a day with a major snowstorm.
Yesterday was absolutely beautiful weather-wise, kids coming in and out all afternoon enjoying 10 different crafts, pictures with Santa and the Grinch, and a free Santa Shop for them to pick out gifts for their families!
This PTA event is one of my favorites, seeing the joy on those children’s faces is what the holidays are all about. We want to thank the community for supporting our event and, more importantly, our school!
The 5th graders put on a successful bake sale as a fundraiser for their upcoming end-of-the-year field trip. So many parents volunteered and even Bijou alumni students stepped in to help at an event they once enjoyed. As the PTA President for the last year, over a span of 8 years, I am beyond proud of what our PTA has accomplished. But we couldn’t have done any of the fun events we do without a great group of supportive families and Bijou is all family! That’s what makes our school so special, the idea of learning a new language but embracing the true message behind culture, traditions, family, and unity. We truly are a tight community at Bijou and this event was a reminder of that.
