“Fun Fair is the event of the spring and I am proud to be one of the organizers of the 25th anniversary celebration. This year we tried to honor the history of the event by bringing in past favorites like Flippo the Clown and favorite games, but also added new events to keep it interesting,” said Cindy Brown, Co-chair of the NGES PTG. “The event raises over a third of our operating budget to fund enrichment programs and more for our students and we couldn’t do it without the amazing support of the local communities, our parents, volunteers, teachers and NGES staff. We look forward to seeing you there!”
