This “Old World Fair” is produced exclusively by parent and community volunteers and features family-friendly games and attractions, two food courts, a huge silent auction with over 500 items, raffles, and musical performances throughout the day.  My Gym hosts Toddler Town, an area exclusively for babies and children under six. We also close off an adjacent street for our Morella Water Park - an entire block of super soaking fun. Admission and parking are free. All proceeds pay for student enrichment as well as traditional programs that have been slashed by LAUSD budget cuts.

Colfax Charter Elementary School is located in Valley Village (just a few blocks northwest of the 101/134/170 freeway junction).
