a bake sale, cupcake walk, arts and crafts, contests and more.
Proceeds of the festival support the Atlanta
Neighborhood Charter School’s Annual Fund. The school needs to raise at least
$400 per student through the yearly fundraising efforts to continue to provide
the same student-teacher ratios, art, music and PE programs that are an
important part of the school’s curriculum.
