Games Night on Friday was such a fun event!  Thank you to the Grade 7's for doing such a great job running the games!  Loved the costumes!   Thank you to ALL the teachers and school staff for providing and organizing a fantastic evening.  Special thanks to Fr. Mark for being such a great sport with the pie throwing, this was the highlight for sure!  Thank you to the Katchaluba family for sponsoring the fabulous Face Painter!  Thank you to Mr. Martinen for allowing the kids to shoot numerous goals at you!  Thank you to all the kids that made glorious cupcakes for the decorating competition. And thank you parents for baking cakes and other yummy treats, for donating items for the raffle, donating candy and thank you to those that helped during the event and the clean up afterwards.  This collaborative effort ensured Games Night was a success!  All of your efforts are very much appreciated.
