Fund-raising Festivals Announced

Among others, The Bendwood School and Northbrook Middle School will host special fall festivals to raise funds for various school improvements and top bring together Spring Branch groups and communities.

The Bendwood Fall Bazaar will be held on Saturday, Nov. 3, from 9 a.m. to 4 a.m.

This annual bazaar has been uniting families in the community for the past 25 years. The Bendwood School is the learning home to Gifted and Talented students and special needs students in the district. With tax dollars being stretched further each year, The Bendwood School relies heavily on bazaar proceeds to help fund teacher workshops, curriculum support, classroom resources and special student field trips.

  2. I've watched the work that has gone into the NMS ARTS MARKET and have seen a lot of the items that will be sold and the vendors are terrific. It will be well worth your time to stop by and purchase early holiday gifts, support the students and their projects, and help fund the upcoming fieldtrip.
