Grill & Chill Community BBQ: Thursday

Grill & Chill

You are invited to our 4th Annual Fall Grill & Chill Community BBQ on Thursday, September 4th from 4:00pm - 6:00pm.. This is our formal kick-off event of the year for our entire community. We grill up free dinner for everyone, Kona Ice is available for self-purchase, music will be playing and we do just that--Grill & Chill! We can’t wait to get the 400 of you together on the playground!

Our wonderful PTSA takes care of the hot dogs, buns, and drinks but, we need the community's help through donations of your time, talents and resources (veggies, chips, cookies, etc.) to pull this event off.
