The Thrall Community Education Foundation (TCEF) is proud to be hosting the 7th annual Harvest Festival on Saturday, Oct. 28. Harvest Festival is a long-standing tradition at Thrall ISD. Each year, the student body at each grade level (1st-12th grades) nominates a queen and king candidate from their grade. With the help of their classmates, these candidates raise funds by selling raffle tickets or collecting monetary donations. The candidates raising the highest amount are crowned Harvest Festival Queen and King at the coronation ceremony.

The origins of the Harvest Festival date back to the 1920s. During the 1940s, Thrall Schools held Halloween Carnivals. Each class elected a Queen and raised money in a variety of ways, from coffee socials to bake sales. In 2014, the Thrall Community Education Foundation (TCEF) brought the Harvest Festival back to the Thrall community. All monies collected from Harvest Festival are deposited into the TCEF account. TCEF funding priorities are student scholarships, classroom initiatives, and professional development. TCEF is a 501(c)(3) organization.
