Golden, Colo.—Free Horizon Montessori is pleased to announce the return of its Spring Fling Fundraiser after a three-year hiatus.

The event will be held at Goosetown Station, 514 9th Street, on Sunday, May 4, from 5 to 7 p.m.

The school’s signature fundraiser is being reinvented as an annual event. All proceeds will go to the school to help fund operations and improve school facilities. Spring Fling is an adults-only event featuring dinner catered by Illegal Pete’s, live music from Jesh Yancey, a frequent donor of instruments to the school’s music program, and a silent auction.

The silent auction will feature artwork from Free Horizon classrooms and an original piece created by lead teacher Elese Moran from the Aspen classroom. It will also feature multiple vacation travel packages from Philantopia, such as a trip to Tuscany, a Disney World Trip, and a Macy’s Day Parade viewing party with brunch included. Other auction items include theater tickets to Miners Alley Playhouse in Golden, tickets to the Colorado Symphony, tutoring classes, yoga and Pilates classes, an interactive science experiment for a classroom by Board President, and DCC chemistry professor, John Frost, as well as many more.

This year’s Spring Fling theme is “Back to School,” so dress up in your best school-era attire.  

Spring Fling Organizer Matthew Muhm said school staff were excited about bringing the event back to the community after a short break.

“This event has always been a big deal for teachers, students, and parents, and we are thrilled to bring it back,” Muhm said. “Free Horizon could not achieve the high standards it has today without the help of parents and the community, so it is an honor to bring back such an important event that benefits the students.”
