Game: Pins
Bowling – without having to borrow those ugly stinky shoes.
Entertainment: Keyboards
Keyboard instruction is offered to all 3rd – 5th graders at Colfax. Instructor Lori Ada Jaroslow will be conducting the mini-Mozarts in a variety of songs including Beethoven’s Ode to Joy. Security guards will be on hand to keep the kindergartners from ambushing them for a rendition of Chopsticks.
Attraction: Toddler Animal Kingdom
It’s not a “jungle out there,” it’s a “jungle in here.” Besides a slide and ball pit area, this inflatable also contains an obstacle course with pop ups and logs to make toddlers feel like they’re playing with friendly lions and tigers and bears. Oh my. Don’t try this in Africa, kids.
Colfax Charter Elementary School is highlighting these daily features on its Facebook and Twitter pages, which are linked to the school Web site. Anyone who replies, retweets, or leaves a comment on Patch will be entered into a daily drawing to win a Colfax World Fair t-shirt and ten tickets to the fair. Winners will be announced each following day.
The winner for Day 13 is Jennifer Weisel Bailey. Congratulations Jennifer!
The Colfax World Fair takes place Saturday, June 4 from noon till 7 p.m. at Colfax Charter Elementary School – 11724 Addison St., Valley Village. This is Colfax’s most profitable annual fundraiser, and all proceeds pay for student enrichment as well as traditional programs that have been slashed by LAUSD budget cuts.
