We are aiming to sell 300 tickets this year and we are almost half way there! We need your help to reach our goal! A second ticket order form was sent home with your children this week. Please return forms and cheques to the school office. Tickets will also be available at the door, but pre-orders are encouraged. Thanks to parents who have already purchased Big Night Out tickets.

Remember to complete the volunteer section – we need more volunteers! To date we have filled only 17 of 50 shifts!

Food, Desserts and Drinks

Enjoy food from Southern Accent, Edo, Johnvince Foods, Marigolds & Onions, and desserts from Hotel Gelato, Phipps, Short & Sweet Cupcakes, and Nespresso. Listen to great music brought to you by Magen Boys Entertainment, enjoy beer from Mill Street Brewery, wine from Creekside Estate Winery, and Blue Bayou, the Big Night Out signature drink!
