Independence Elementary School Maverick Round Up Fall Carnival

Friday, October 9, 6-8 p.m.
 
Cowboys and cowgirls are invited to come out and have a boot-stomping, hand-clapping, whistle-blowing good time!! There will be bounce houses, an obstacle course, a rock climbing wall, a dunk tank, carnival games, chili cook off, and food. Punch cards will be sold at the event and used toward activities, games and food.

There will also be samples of IES PTA’s fundraiser Grandma’s Gourmet Country Pies. Come and taste a bite of these delicious pies during the Maverick Round Up. These yummy pies will be ready for delivery just in time for Thanksgiving. So make your Turkey Day meal a little easier and support your IES PTA.

We welcome anyone or any business in the community to join our PTA and help make Independence a great school for our children. For more information, check out the PTA website at www.iespta.org.

National Night Out Tuesday October 6, 2009

Here is your chance to host a National Night Out Block Party with your neighbors! National Night Out is an annual event where residents are asked to turn on their porch lights and spend the evening outdoors with neighbors and the local police. This is a great way to meet your neighbors and take a stand against crime. If you would be interested in hosting a block party, please contact the Code Blue Captain for Woodland Springs, Cathy Pepper at rpepper@1scom.net. We will coordinate to have Code Blue members and the FW police visit all the block parties being hosted.
