Fall Festival Brings Fun and Togetherness to CCSD59 Families

English|Español

This past Saturday, CCSD59 families gathered at the Administration Center to celebrate the start of a new season with the annual Fall Festival. Planned by the District’s Community Outreach team, the event featured carnival-style games and activities hosted across school booths, as well as food trucks that added a delicious twist to festivities. The vibrant atmosphere brought the community together, providing plenty of fun for all ages.

As live music filled the air, children enjoyed games like ring toss, Bozo buckets, life-size jenga, and scooter obstacle courses where they could race their friends. Another fan favorite was the inflatable obstacle course, where kids climbed up mini walls, navigated through a sea of standing obstacles, and crawled through a tube to reach the end – only to go back and do it all over again.

The fun didn’t stop there. Thanks to the District’s friends at the Kenneth Young Center, kids picked pumpkins and let their creative juices flow as they painted them in whatever style they desired. The painting theme continued as several school booths offered face painting, where children could select from a variety of options, everything from unicorns to superhero-inspired characters.

In addition to fun and games, the event showcased valuable community resources. Representatives from Alliance for Immigrant Neighbors Children’s Advocacy Center, Cook County Sheriff’s Department, Des Plaines Public Library, District 214 Adult Education, Elk Grove High School, Greater Family Health, Harper College, Mount Prospect Library, and Safeway Transportation Services Corp. were on hand to share information and engage with families about educational programs and services available in the area.

When families wanted to take a break from the heat, they were able to head inside to receive a free flu shot, thanks to the District’s partnership with Jewel Osco. With colder months approaching, many families took advantage of this opportunity to ensure they stay healthy this season.

“This event is a great way for our district to come together and celebrate the start of fall,” said Ashley Robertson, Director of Social Emotional Learning and Support. “We’re grateful to everyone who participated, as well as the staff members who supported the event, making it a truly memorable day.”

The Fall Festival is an important reminder of community and the joy of coming together. Families left with smiles, filled with laughter and a sense of belonging, looking forward to next year’s festivities.
