Dinner & Dance Fundraiser

Our school’s Dinner and Dance fundraiser takes place twice a year, in the Fall and in the Spring. During these events, tickets are sold to parents and friends who wish to attend.

Parents who would like to organize fundraising events to support our school are always welcome to do so. Funds raised are used to support school programs, purchase learning materials, organize cultural activities, and improve school resources for the students.
