We have spent the last 8 months working together as a community to create and plan an activity that would bring the students, parents, teachers and community-at-large together. Our charge is to foster an atmosphere where inclusion is a standard and our differences are appreciated, valued and celebrated!
The culmination of our hard work, teamwork and dedication to creating and planning this community-centric activity will take place tomorrow beginning at 6PM at Board Office @ 1200 Myrtle Avenue.
• Raffles every ½ hour!
• Live Interviews by our Roving Reporters!
• Come ready to Cha’Cha, Merengue and Zumba with Us!
• International Cuisine to Savor!
• A video montage put together by the PAAAS T.V. Production Students
• Games, Fun and Laughter Galore!
