Why come to Fiestaval?
Fiestaval has been an important part of our school's community building since the school opened its doors in 2015. A San Antonio Fiesta-themed party organized and funded by your very own Parent Service Organization.
Your support of this event ensures it continues to bring joy to Griffin families for years to come, and when it does well, allows the PSO to give back even more money to the school in the form of improvements like the new set of bleachers on the field or the logo painted on the gym floor.
PSO organizers do their best to plan a fun-filled, family-friendly event with activities and treats for all ages. We would love to see you there!

Fiestaval FAQ
What is included in the price of admissions? Your admission includes most of the fun activities like inflatables, Little Griffin Corner, crafts, magic shows, folkloric dancers, and House booth carnival games. Concessions, Cake Walk, and the Dunk Tank will require tickets.
Where do Fiestaval proceeds go? Fiestaval proceeds are used to cover the costs of hosting the event, such as inflatable rental fees, concessions items, and entertainment. Once we've covered our cost for the current year's event, we set aside adequate funds that allow us to begin planning the next year's event. Any remaining proceeds are used to gift the school with something it needs. In the past, PSO has used Fiestaval proceeds to purchase a new set of bleachers for the field, and cover the cost of having the GHNO logo painted on the gym floor!
What's the best way to help? Fiestaval is a HUGE event and needs many volunteers. Parent power is our most significant need, so please consider signing up using the Signup Genius above.
Will there be any activities for non-schoolage children? Yes! We will have bounce houses suitable for small children along with the return of our supervised Little Griffin Corner inside the Lower School Library, where littles can safely crawl around and get the wiggles out.
