MBE holds first annual fall festival fundraiser

Mountain Brook Elementary held its first annual fall festival in November. The event boasted bouncy houses for the students, a candy walk, live music by the Old Smugglers, self-portraits by students that were offered for sale, and a silent auction. 

The auction baskets were filled with prizes including a weekend at the Grand Bohemian, skybox tickets to an Alabama football game, fabulous local gift certificates, Ripstik and electric scooter, and a spring break trip to the Gulf Coast, just to name a few. 

The evening concluded with pizza for all and a showing of “Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory” on the big screen. 

Chairs Emily Dunn and Melanie Toronto worked tirelessly to ensure the event was a success. The funds raised will be allocated to the school’s new playground.
