SWIFT FALL FESTIVAL

FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 8TH

5PM - 7PM

CHAPMAN PLAYGROUND

Join the Chapman Community the evening of Friday, Sep. 8 for the first annual Swift Fall Festival. This is Chapman's return to school celebration! Start the evening with art, games and a bouncy house, plus food and drinks for purchase. Then head over to the turf and grass hill to watch the Vaux Swifts do their thing. This is a great chance to reconnect with Chapman families after the summer break and to welcome new Chapman families.  

And special to this year, the Swift Fall Festival is in conjunction with Chapman's 100 year Alumni Open House Celebration. Did you know that the Chapman Building is 100 years old this year? We are inviting alumni back for an open house and then inviting them to join us at the Swift Fall Festival. All Chapman families are free to join the open house tour of Chapman before the festival.

For all details on both the 100 Year Alumni Open house and the Swift Fall Festival head here : https://chapman100yearspage.godaddysites.com/

Lastly, do you know a Chapman Alumni? Please forward on the information for the Alumni Open House.
