Dear Parents/Guardians,

Dear Owen Community,
This is a sincere note of appreciation for all those individuals who helped make our Spring Fling a huge success!
Spring Fling is our school’s largest fundraising event. The last one we hosted was in 2019. In past years, planning for Spring Fling started early in the year but this year up until early April, the event had no lead and no funds.
Spring Fling happened because one special parent decided to lead it; Soodabeh (Soodi) Fathi. Despite no prior Spring Fling experience and a compressed timeline, Soodabeh dared and we are truly thankful to her.
Once Soodabeh was committed, there was no stopping. She took charge to develop the detailed plan and was determined to deliver a fun-filled event to be enjoyed by all. Soodabeh spent many hours sourcing vendors, determining a wide range of activities that suit all the different age groups and even drawing up a map for the day. Soodabeh’s passion and dedication were contagious, others were also inspired to help lead various aspects of this monumental project. From gathering sponsors, designing posters and banners, organizing volunteers to running the bottle bonanza and bake sale, just to name a few.
A picture tells a thousand words. Our stunning Spring Fling poster depicted so many words conveying mystery, fun and excitement. By looking at the poster you knew something magical was about to happen, something fantastical. The designer of the series of Spring Fling posters was our resident artist, Caroline Lee (Cat) who is the creator behind Catchoo. For the past month, Cat has worked painstakingly to help spread the word about our day with her art. Her design was the talk of all our sponsors and the envy of other schools! Cat didn’t stop there. She brought her family to Spring Fling to serve up delicious clouds of sweetness for hours. A heartfelt thank you to Cat and family for sprinkling the most beautiful fairy dust to our event!
Thank you to all the teachers and administrators for taking part at our event. Your support means everything to our school.
And last but not least, here are the names of the dedicated parent volunteers who have helped with planning, organizing and executing our magical event. We could not have done this without you!
