Pony Rides, Raffles and More at School's Saturday 'Fling'

If Tropical Storm Andrea doesn't keep the ponies away, the Primrose School of Warren will host the first of what may become an annual fundraising event to benefit Special Olympics NJ and the Primrose Children’s Foundation, Saturday.

The school's Spring Fling is intended to help raise awareness and funds to support the local community, inviting local families to participate in fun springtime activities including pony rides (weather permitting), carnival games, face painting, sports activities, and a special appearance by a Somerset Patriots player and the team's mascot, Sparkee.  

There will be raffles and entertainment by a DJ, including fun musical games for children. All of the funds raise from this event will be donated the Special Olympics NJ and the children's foundation. 

The Spring Fling will be held from 10:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. at the school.

Supporters of the event also includes Lifemax, NJ Family and the NJ Moms Guide.

Spring Fling is part of the Primrose Schools curriculum, which focuses on developing Active Minds, Healthy Bodies and Happy Hearts as a foundation for character development. Giving back to others is a passion shared throughout our organization and helping children understand generosity continues to be one of our most important initiatives. The Primrose Children’s Foundation is a notfor-profit organization that was created to combine fundraising efforts from individual Primrose Schools across the nation to support organizations that focus on the needs of children and families.
