Principal’s Message – April 17th
Dear École Herbert Spencer Community,
Another Great Week!
Please see the following highlights, reminders, updates and information!
Reminder of the Grade 5 Grad Glow Dance Party this Tuesday, April 21 – 6-8PM
Get ready for a Glow Party! The gym will be black lit and we recommend wearing white or neon so you GLOW on the dance floor. There will be a photo booth, glow in the dark face painting and tattoos, a DJ, snacks, craft table, and more.
This is a free drop in event. No registration required. Kids will not need money!
We appreciate families limiting attendance to grade 5 students only, no siblings please, and all students must be accompanied by an adult.
