Big PTA Thank You For the Fall Festival!
Our Fall Festival was a huge success!! It was so great to see our community all together enjoying time with their family while supporting the programs at our school. It could not have been possible without our very own Rainbow Unicorn, Liz Guthrie. She put her heart and soul into this year’s Fall Festival! Months of planning and countless hours of work made the night such great fun for all families to enjoy!!
We also want to thank all of the teachers for supporting the event, working ticket booths, volunteering and making sure their baskets, doors, and scarecrows were all set to go on Friday.
Thanks also to our DJ, Mr. Tanaka, who gave so much of his time to add music to the evening.
Thank you to the office staff for being there for the PTA 100%. Whether it was ordering tables, answering questions, collecting money – they were there. THANK YOU!
Thank you to Quang for making sure the cafeteria was cleaned and ready, helping set up tables, and being at the event the whole night making sure our school was in tip top shape.
And finally, we would like to thank Ms. Mendoza for her continued support, encouraging smile and for helping us the entire evening.

coordinator at [email protected]
The annual Fall Festival
was a huge success!
Thank you to everyone who
attended. We had a great turn
out and a good time was had by
hundreds of students, families, friends and neighbors.
Along with some old favorites, this year's event added a
few new festivities, such as:
"Club Karaoke", set up in the kinder area, complete with a real DJ, awesome light show, and a fog machine like no other, provided by dad, Matt Fransden
Scarecrow Alley, a fun hay maze with toddler wagon rides that showcased all our creative class scarecrows in one place, designed and created by 2 awesome Reed moms, Alisa D'Angelo and Erin Jordan
A custom made "Dungeon" with a foggy moat, where kids locked up their friends and teachers
Pirate Ship Treasure Dig, a fun game where kids dug for gold with real pirates; designed and built by a new kinder family and the Piedmont Hills High School Drama Department
A Friendly Fortune Teller booth where participants received positive messages from one of our favorite funny dads, Mike Scaletta
Our third grade students who sold hand painted rocks to raise money for a local homeless shelter. They raised $60 and sold out of rocks early in the night
County Supervisor Cindy Chavez, SJUSD Board President Pam Foley, and SJUSD Board Trustee Veronica Lewis all attended our event as special guests
Several other custom made games and activities were showcased throughout the school campus
We'd also like to thank former Reed mom Adrienne San
Filipo and her business partner Amy Frugoli for bringing
the Sugar Tree Sweets and Treats truck onto campus for
the night. They'll be donating a portion of the proceeds
made from the evening to Reed PTA. Special keepsake
photo mementos were provided by The Laugh Box, a
professional photo booth and flip book party company.
As always, the Haunted House was one of our most
popular attractions, run by Reed parent Dorothea Jansen.
It takes over a week to get it all set up, and is no small
undertaking! What a task!
The Fall Festival takes months to prepare for, with
planning beginning before the prior school year ends, and
relies heavily on volunteers from our community. In fact,
we utilized over 150 volunteers logging in over 600 hours
of their time! Aside from our high school and college
volunteers, dozens of parents donated their time and
services to make this event such a big hit.
If you are interested in CO-CHAIRING the event next year
or taking on one of our committee chair positions, please
contact Liz Guthrie at fall [email protected]
If you see the following parents and Reed staff around
campus, please stop to say THANKS for all their amazing
hard work and dedication!
