2026 Spring Fling

Thursday, May 28, 5 to 8 p.m.!

​This is a super-fun Tennyson families event, meaning parents are required to be on site to supervise their children, and we are able to welcome only Tennyson families only. 

The amazing activities on offer for your kids and other Tennyson families:
  • Magician Vincent Lee stage magic (5:30 to 6:00 p.m.);
  • Beats by DJ Rock’N’Beau (on site 6 to 8 p.m.);
  • Tasty offerings of food trucks, bake sale, and concessions; 
  • Challenge your kids to a sac race, or other lawn games on the field;
  • Create a cute memento of the night in the arts and crafts room;
  • Get inked….temporarily….at the temporary tattoos stations; 
  • AND support local artisans and “makers” at the Makers Market. 
 
Inclusive Hour 5 to 6 p.m.
Have little ones that get overwhelmed with some of these events? Consider coming by the Spring Fling between 5 and 6 p.m. Food trucks will be open for business and all other activities will be running, but the DJ will not be on site yet.

Volunteering

It is always fantastic to see the Tennyson parent community step up and lend a hand before (setup), during, and after (clean up) these events! Once again, we need YOUR help to pull it off! To volunteer, please contact [email protected]. 

Roles include providing bake sale goods, volunteering for games, selling treats and concession items, and supporting the arts and crafts. Sign up with a friend today! 

Two new roles for 2026:
  1. Craft Station co-lead: The ever talented Cinzia (KID AND GRADE) will be creating a craft station again this year. We are looking for someone to share this role in case Cinzia is not available on the day of the event. 
  2. First Aid Attendant: Anyone with a St. John’s Level 1 certification to be on-site when we run the tug of war. Tug of war can be scheduled for a time when the First Aid Attendant is available. We are unable to run this challenge without a First Aid Attendant at the time (purely precautionary).
