What a fantastic afternoon! It was great to see so many students and their families come out to get to know each other and our wonderful staff.Delicious farm-fresh corn, tasty burgers and sausages, lots of families and staff, plus a whole bunch of sunshine made A.R. Lord's annual Welcome Back Corn Roast a success!!
During the roast the grade 7's worked hard fundraising for their graduating class with a great 50/50 draw. Congratulations to Tracy S. for winning the draw! Tracy generously chose to donate the funds back to the grade 7 class.
Of course lots and lots of hard work went into organizing and running this event and we want to send out thanks to everyone who pitched in to help. To Sean R. for driving out to the valley to pick up the hundreds of corn, to the Real Parents group for shucking and handing out the corn, to all the parents and staff who helped on the hot grills, organizing and handing out food, selling tickets and all the clean up.
A very special thank you to our PAC Chair, Kathy M, for doing so much of the heavy preparations and running of this event - great job!!!
We'd also like to thank Columbus Meat Market for donating all the tasty beef burgers, chicken burgers, and sausages. We're such a lucky school!
