Holi Celebration | Burley School Playground | April 10th | 3:30PM – 4:30PM

Students and families are invited to come celebrate this spring tradition from India with color, laughter, and community! Holi color powders and light snacks will be provided. Wear clothes you don't mind getting color on—white is recommended, as colors show up brighter. (Don’t worry, the colors do come off the clothes after a good wash!)

If your child is in YMCA or after school clubs, parents please sign them out for early dismissal if you would like them to participate in the Holi event.

We look forward to seeing you there!
Organized by South Asian parents at Burley
