The Clough Pike Elementary School held its fifth annual Fall Festival Oct. 27.

“It was an incredible success,” said Clough Pike Elementary School Principal Patrick Crahan. “Our annual Fall Festival not only raises money for our outstanding school, but provides a fun day for the kids, their parents, and the community The PTO did an amazing job this year.”

According to PTO Fall Festival Chairperson Mae Hanna, the event raised close to $17,000 in funds, a total that far surpasses what the festival made last year.

“Things went very well this year,” Hanna said. “The damp and cloudy weather was not the greatest in the world, but fortunately, it did not put a damper on our efforts to raise money for the school.”
