A News from our Parent Service Organization (PSO)
Barn Dance Update
We have news that's bittersweet to share: this year's Barn Dance is postponed.
At the January PSO meeting, we faced a reality check about our volunteer capacity. With the capital campaign in full swing to secure our forever home, we simply can't give the Barn Dance the energy it deserves right now.
Event Chair Kia Armstrong had a great idea: let's hold the Barn Dance as a victory celebration after we've secured our site. Everyone agreed—what better reason to dance than celebrating that milestone?
We know this is disappointing. The Barn Dance is a beloved tradition. But this year demands focus, and our priority is building a foundation that will sustain the Five Acre School for decades to come.
We'll dance again. And when we do, we'll have something incredible to celebrate.
We hope you will join us at our next meeting Feb 10, 2025 @ 5:30PM in the Explorer classroom.
