Fun, Food, and Festivities at Birch Fall Festival

Birch kicked off the new school year with a festive Fall Festival held outside on Sept. 12. 

Families, students, and staff gathered for an afternoon of fun that included delicious food, classic carnival games, playground time, and high-energy rounds of gaga ball. A DJ kept the party going with music and dancing, while photo ops captured smiling faces and first-week excitement.  

The event, organized by the school and PTA, offered a delightful way for students and families to reconnect with friends, meet teachers, and celebrate the start of another great school year.
