FAREWELL FESTIVAL: SAYING GOODBYE TO OUR GRAND OLD SCHOOLS:
A Grand Old Festival is being planned by the Falmouth Elementary PTO to celebrate these two schools and the many citizens of Falmouth who have walked their halls and learned in their classrooms.
The event will kick off with a community picnic on the evening of Friday, June 3 with entertainment and other family-fun activities. The entire community is invited to bring their picnic baskets and lawn chairs to this old-fashioned evening get-together. On Saturday, June 4, festivities will begin with a “Spirit of Falmouth” Parade leading from Village Park up Lunt Road to the schools. The festival itself will begin at the schools at 10:00 am and will include old-fashioned carnival games, family-fun activities, musical entertainment, live demonstrations, food vendors and more. At 11:00 a.m., a commemoration ceremony will take place, which will include the dedication of a time capsule to mark this historic occasion. In addition, school tours will be available for those who want to reminisce about their days in these buildings.
Decorate a Chair! We're inviting students, teachers, businesses and civic groups to claim a student chair and turn it into art in honor of the decades-long history and traditions of these educational institutions. Completed art pieces will be displayed throughout Falmouth at participating businesses from May 18-June 1. On June 4, chairs will be available for purchase through a silent auction during the Festival activities. Proceeds from the auction will offset the costs of the Festival and benefit the Falmouth Elementary PTO.
