Shades Cahaba Elementary School’s recent Winter Festival featured walks, games, food, a silent auction and the “Owlmazing Race.”
For the race, students completed an obstacle course during their physical education classes and asked parents or community members to sponsor them for each obstacle completed. Each class came up with a team name and costumes, and they competed with each other for a spirit stick and prizes.
The Winter Festival is the school’s only fundraiser. The money raised provides grants to fulfill academic enhancement requests from the teachers.
