St. Philip Neri School

Where Tradition Meets Innovation

Dear School Families,

In less than two weeks the Parish Fun Fair will be held on Saturday, September 23 here on campus. We have not been able to have the Fun Fair in person for the past 3 years, and it is one of our community traditions that bring the Parish and School and larger community together for a day of fun and games, literally. Why is the Fun Fair so special? The Fun Fair focuses on bringing our community together to enjoy and celebrate one another and the simple things in life – good friends, good food, fun games, and something for everyone. Who doesn’t love a good raffle for cash prizes? Some parishioners have even met their future spouses at the SPN Fun Fair.

Parent volunteers as well as 7th and 8th graders from the School work the event and can earn school volunteer hours. There are many opportunities, large and small, for you to get involved, and we hope you’ll take advantage of signing up early so our event organizers know that they have enough help. You can even get hours for baking something for the Cake Walk! We are also looking for former SPN graduates to stop by the Garden and join our Spartan Alumni. So spread the word to family and friends and be sure to join us at the Fun Fair.

Peace & Blessings,

Ms. Thomas
