Fall Ball Family Dance Party - Oct 24
The Fall Ball is less than two weeks away and we are in desperate need of volunteers because 0 of the 68 possible positions have been filled. We require your support to be able to put events like this on. If we cannot find volunteers we will have to cancel the dance.
To volunteer, please visit the SignUp.com link https://signup.com/go/sQuNKht or contact universityschoolcouncil@gmail.com.
What: Family Dance Fundraiser hosted by School Council
When: Thursday, October 24th, from 6-8PM
Where: University School gymnasium
How to attend: Purchase your tickets ahead of time by using the Healthy Hunger website (https://healthyhunger.ca/). The suggested cost of admission is $20. We are again doing a ‘pay-what-you-can’ format to ensure that every family can join. Healthy Hunger allows you to pay in increments of $5. Tickets can also be purchased at the door on the evening of the dance. The Fall Ball is a community event that also functions as a fundraiser for our School Council.
There is food available to order from the Healthy Hunger site (pizza and/or a treat). Food orders are due by Saturday, October 19. The DJ will be spinning fun tunes. There will be a door prize, best costume prize, and guess-the-candy jar prize.
This is a family dance - all children must be accompanied by adults, no supervision is provided.

Morning Kindergarten students can wait until 11:10 am to receive their fun lunch if ordered. If they attend Summit they will have their food brought to them there.
