| What a Fall Festival! Thank You, Elevate Community! |
|
Our 2026 Elevate Fall Festival was a huge success! It was a wonderful afternoon filled with games, performances, laughter, and plenty of fun for our school community!
Our carnival games kept students busy winning tons of prizes, while the new, larger inflatable obstacle courses were a crowd favorite! The new tattoo booth was another big hit, with volunteers creating countless tattoos throughout the afternoon. The Cookie Wheel was a huge hit, with every last cookie claimed! Students also loved spending time with the adorable therapy dogs from Love on a Leash.
On stage, our Grade vs. Grade competitions brought plenty of laughter and excitement with the Mummy Challenge, Bubble Gum Pie Challenge, and Cup Game. But the biggest highlight was our talented student performers, who stole the show with their amazing performances!
One of the most rewarding moments for our school was welcoming back 51 Elevate alumni who volunteered to help run our booths and activities. Seeing so many former students return to their roots and give back to the school where they grew up was truly special!
A huge thank-you to SD CPA and Wheelhouse Credit Union for sponsoring FREE carnival wristbands for all current Elevate students! We're also incredibly grateful to our amazing parent volunteers, Love on a Leash, and Faith Community Church for generously providing the venue at no cost.
Most importantly, thank you to our families, students, and staff for making this such a memorable day. Events like these remind us what makes the Elevate community so special!
Enjoy some of our favorite moments from the festival in the photos below!
