Parky's Farm

We will once again be volunteering at Parky's Farm this year. If you are new, Parky's Farm is a fun night of activities for elementary and preschool children and their families. Badin students and parents assist with activities such as the hayride, moon bounce, rock-climbing wall, and other activities. In exchange, the Hamilton County Park District provides a cash donation to our organization.

In addition to the fun and fundraising, Badin students may receive additional benefits for participating. Students may receive EITHER class credit of 2 points / hour OR Badin Service Hours (in accordance with Religion department guidelines) for the event.

Participants must fill out a liability waiver. Sign-up sheets for the two nights are currently posted in the Music Room, or you may sign up online here:
