Jenny Tucker, the PTA chairwoman, said the event is going to be great for all ages.
"This event is well attended by George White students, their families and faculty. It is a great event to kick off the start of the school year in a fun, relaxed atmosphere.”

This event is not a typical fundraiser, Tucker said, but is intended only "to break even, or make a small contribution to the general PTA funds that help our school's programs funded by PTA."
Over the years, the event has attracted from 700 to 1,000 attendees and continues to be popular among Laguna Niguel residents.
"I feel like being able to see the teachers outside of school is a huge draw to the students. It's also a great opportunity for families to visit together without the pressure of fundraising," she said.
