Princeton Middle School PTO To Host Fall Moon Fest

PRINCETON, NJ – Princeton Middle School PTO will be hosting the Fall Moon Fest on Saturday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m..

For more than 30 years, the Middle School PTO has hosted Super Saturdays as their biggest community event and fundraiser of the year. This annual event was halted during the Pandemic.

This year's Fall Moon Festival will have vibes similar to Super Saturdays .

“It’s not only an excellent community builder for the parents and kids at the Middle School, but it’s also a great ice breaker for kids to mix with friends across all the other schools. It’s a tradition the kids remember for years after graduating,” said former PTO VP, Milena DeLuca.

Entry purchase to this event includes a carnival of bounce houses, a giant obstacle course and giant games, a DJ, Mariachi Oro de Mexico Band, a live Bollywood performance by Shivaay Dance Academy, Trunk or Treat, a slice of pizza, and certified eclipse viewing glasses.

Princeton Mayor Mark Freda is expected to make an appearance at the fest.

The event is open to all 6 Princeton Public Schools families.

Presale f tickets is only $30 per family and $10 individual.

At the event there are some activities your family can pay to participate, like the Dunk Tank where you can dunk Principal Burr, the Cake Circle, and register in advance for the Dodgeball Tournament.

This year also features some raffle prize options and a special Parent Tent where parents can meet and connect while the kids play. Pumpkins and mums will be available for sale thanks to Madden Family Farm.

All proceeds from this fundraiser will support the 8th grade trip, as well as other grade level events and PTO initiatives, including community and enrichment opportunities.

"Super Saturday isn't only our most essential fundraiser of the year. We host this activity early in the school year to welcome new families, and help students cultivate new friendships,” Princeton Middle School Principal Jason Burr said. “Schools are an important part of any community. This is a way that we bring that community close together."
