C.H. Campbell Elementary School students and their families traveled out of this world during the school’s annual Spring Festival with lots of games, food and fun on March 11. With the theme ‘Out of This World,’ students and their families wore neon T-shirts and danced in a black room - the converted school library - decorated with aliens, rockets, planets and flashing lights.
As attendees entered the transformed library, they were instantly met with dance music and a dance team, which was there to get the party started and dance with the students.
The evening also offered bounce-arounds, a photo booth, games, face painting and a Chinese auction, which featured baskets donated from local businesses and classroom baskets with items donated from students and their families.
Spring Fest is a fundraiser for the school and according to C.H. Campbell PTO chair and Spring Fest chair Shannon Eddy, proceeds from the event will go toward purchasing technology and improvements to the school.
Along with all the fun and games, dinner was served in the cafeteria. Numerous PTO volunteers helped in all aspects of the evening, from selling raffle tickets to manning the photo booth. Several C.H. Campbell staffers also donated their time to help with the festival.
Canfield High School National Honor Society members also helped with the event to earn volunteer hours. Canfield High School cheerleaders volunteered at the face painting booth. Several Canfield Village Middle School students also helped at the festival.
“C.H. Campbell is out of this world and the kids and parents are out of this world, too. We appreciate everyone’s help in making Spring Fest such a success,” said Shannon Raptis, C.H. Campbell PTO co-chair.
