At the end of the school year, most of the Ann Arbor elementary schools hold an all-school social event that is typically a fundraiser. Most schools call the event an Ice Cream Social, but there is the Wines ROAR, Allen Country Fair, and other names at each school.
If your child will be starting Kindergarten or moving to a new school next year, this is the perfect chance to meet the school community and learn about the school culture. My daughter attended Ann Arbor Open, and has returned while in high school to volunteer.
Attending an event at another school can be a great way to help their fundraising efforts while having a fun family evening. Unfortunately, most of the events are either May 30 or June 6, so you will be limited in how many schools you can support.
I also want to share my apologies to Allen. They held their event on May 23, but we did not update the article until May 26
If we missed your child’s school, or you have additional information to add, please let me know (annamae @ annaborwithkids.com).
