Buy pre-sale tickets at the high top table in the lobby (next to Mrs. George’s desk) from October 18-23 for just $2/person. Buy a ticket at the door for $3/person. Please send exact change or check made to JBD PTA. Price includes skate rentals. ALL children will need a ticket. Adults only need a ticket if they plan to skate.
Wear your costumes for Halloween fun (be sure your costume is a safe length for skating, no weapons, masks or bloody costumes).
Food will be available for purchase on site.
Also, JBD's SCA (student council association) has organized a United Way fundraiser. Bring $1 and come to school in your costume on October 31. Keep those costumes not too scary for our littlest students.
