Every fall, we come together to celebrate with food, music, crafts, games and good cheer. The event includes bounce houses, face painting, games, and more. Alumni, parents, the local community and friends of the school are all welcome. This has been a tradition since Putney’s founding in 1935. We hope you will join us!
