Everyone who enters must have a ticket regardless if they skate or not. We'll be selling tickets before and after school at the top of the ramp. Cash & checks only - no refunds.
This was a really fun night and a successful fundraiser for us last year. From last year's proceeds, grade 4 purchased circuit boards for science, wobbly chairs, art supplies, and new copies of Bud, Not Buddy. All proceeds go to upper grade classrooms. Hope to see you there!
Parents, use this link to sign-up to sell tickets for this event. Your help is truly appreciated!

Notes: We are 2/3 of the way through the year. This is a great time to have a conversation with your child reviewing your expectations regarding effort in class and citizenship at school. Additionally, ask your child about his/her supply of erasable pens. This is a good time to refresh your child's supply.
