WE HAD A BLAST!
Hear Ye, Hear Ye! The Mathews Family is Cordially Invited to Ye Olde Octoberama!
Get ready to journey back in time, Austin style! Our Fall Fundraising Festival is transforming into Ye Olde Octoberama, a Renaissance Faire right here at Mathews Elementary on Saturday, October 25th, 2025!
Forget your everyday worries and step into a world of fun! We’ll have live local music to set the medieval mood, delicious food truck grub fit for royalty, exciting games, a bouncy castle for the little lords and ladies, and a photo booth to capture your Renaissance finery. Don’t miss the Silent Auction, overflowing with treasures!
Come one, come all, for a day of fun, food, and community at Mathews!
