Spring Fling Dance
Farine is planning a Mother-Son/Father-Daughter Dance on Friday, April 29th from 5:30 – 8:30 PM. We had originally planned the spring “formal” dance on Thursday, April 28th, but learned that it conflicts with the Irving ISD Employee Service Awards Banquet. We are planning to charge $5.00 per family at the door and will be selling tickets to purchase food and drink (as well as other items) at the event. In order to help with space and parking, we are asking that families with children in Kinder through second grade attend between 5:30-7:00 PM and families with third through fifth graders attend between 7:00-8:30 PM. If a family has students in multiple grade levels, they may attend either time. There will be dancing, photo ops (with Freddy, the Falcon) and more! Additional details will be coming soon!
SPIN Family Fun(d) Night
You won’t want to miss this fun fund raising event! On Tuesday, April 12 from 5:00-9:00 PM, SPIN Pizza will be hosting our next Farine Family Fun(d) Night. SPIN Pizza is located at 1030 W. John Carpenter Freeway. Visit for directions to the Las Colinas location. Come enjoy some pizza and help raise some additional funds for Farine!
