Spaghetti Dinner 
Friday, October 18th from 5:30 – 7:00 p.m.

Join us for our Annual Homemade Spaghetti Dinner and Bake Sale fundraiser. 
Donations will be accepted at the door for dinner.  We will also sell tickets for $1 for dessert and $1 for face painting. 

We are supported by the love and generosity of so many people.  Marco Scalise and Norm Goding have cooked for our spaghetti dinner for 18 years.  They spend hours preparing a homemade spaghetti dinner that benefits our school!

We are encouraging families to bring a dessert for our bake sale. Please make sure desserts are individually portioned (i.e. – cupcakes, cookies, cut up brownies etc) and nut-free.

We will offer face painting for the children again too.

We will also provide gluten-free pasta also.

This event is a great opportunity to get to know other families in your child’s preschool class and for our alumni families to visit their teachers and friends.   We hope you can make it!
