I wanted to send a big thanks to Parent Council for hosting another great family dance. It was fabulous to see all the kids and families having a great time together. Thanks to all the volunteers who made this event possible.

SCHOOL COUNCIL CORNER – EVENTS & ANNOUNCEMENTS
Join us on MONDAY, JUNE 10 @ 6.30pm for the ROS Fundraising Society and School Council monthly meeting.
Our two Beach Bash Dances were a huge success! We had an overwhelming response for the dance with both nights selling out super fast! A big thank you to everyone who attended and supported our school for this event. Money raised through ticket sales and concession will go directly back into the school to fund prizes for Bike & Roll to School Day (May 23), hosting the Pancake Breakfast (May 29), subsidizing the cost for Beach Bash/Movie Night/Year End BBQ (June 26) and much more!
An enormous thanks to all those who helped out by volunteering their time. Events like this could not happen without volunteers like you! We are grateful and appreciate your support. Thanks also to the many Grade 4's who volunteered during the dances! We hope you had fun! Thanks again everyone and we hope to see you at our next event!
The ROS School Council and Fundraising teams are all parent volunteers with students at Royal Oak – help is always needed to make our big events happen! Want to be part of the planning? Email rosfundraisingsociety@gmail.com or roschoolcouncil@gmail.com
