Time to Announce...The End of Term Party!

Dear P.S./M.S. 161 Family, Friends and Colleagues,

The Sunshine Committee is proud to announce that THE END TERM PARTY has been set up and scheduled for Friday, June 21^st, 2013!! We are planning on having the event on our school patio from 4:00pm until you are ready to go home! The theme for this year’s End Term Party is an ALL WHITE AFFAIR…STARTING FRESH AND BRAND NEW!!

As a result of the great success we had at the holiday party with the food, we are again asking everyone to contribute a food or dessert dish to the End Term Party. We have many talented chefs in this building and we would love to sample their food again!!

In addition, various members of the Sunshine Committee will be coming around to collect $20 per person (children under 18 are free), which will be used towards the purchase of our DJ, decorations and non-alcoholic drinks (i.e: juices, sodas, and water). Lets come together and celebrate who we are…PS/MS 161!

ANY QUESTIONS, FEEL FREE TO ASK ANY SUNSHINE COMMITTEE MEMBER!!

Sincerely,

The Sunshine Committee
