Parents and Guardians,

Tomorrow is the AVPS Annual Spring Fair, brought to you by Alta Vista School Council. Although the weather is not looking like spring, there will be lots of great activities. We will be moving some activities inside if the rain continues, but due to the great volunteer response, nothing will be cancelled.

To give you some highlights of what to expect tomorrow, we will have a silent auction featuring class baskets; family fun gift certificates for bowling, whitewater rafting, and local museums; restaurant gift certificates for Gabriel’s Pizza, Smoque Shack, Bella Vista, the Standard and more; and beer and wine baskets.

There will be a bouncy castle,

a tippy ladder

and a Velcro Wall;

cake and cupcake walks; a Bake Sale featuring Maverick’s Donuts in support of the Grade 6 camping trip; plant, book and white elephant sales; as well as face painting, a photo booth and the toonie toss! There will be a BBQ catered by Hometown and pizza for sale, as well as cotton candy, popcorn, and more.

This event is our biggest of the year, and also provides a fundraising opportunity to help provide the school with needed learning enhancements such as technology, library and levelled reader books, and athletic equipment.

Please come and celebrate with us. We look forward to seeing you between 10-2 tomorrow.
