Pasta Dinner

The next school fundraiser is Saturday, February 4th. The OPTSA with a few teachers will be hosting an all you can eat spaghetti dinner. There will be bingo and a small silent auction. Juniors who purchase a ticket and attend the dinner will be given a raffle ticket. The raffle is one ticket to prom. This is a great way for students to support the school, eat a great meal and maybe win a prom ticket. Tickets are $10 in advance or $12 at the door. Students and guardians can purchase tickets at the front office or from me.

I hope to see many of you on February 4th.
