Luau Information

Aloha Everyone,
As we begin counting down to the Grade 8 Luau, we thought we would send out a summary of the day's events to help everyone get organized. :)
The forecast for Wednesday is 26 degrees and sunny. (Don't forget the sunscreen).....
The students will have a chance to work up their appetites while involved in outdoor morning activities. At ~11:00 am they will make their way to the LUAU BBQ area. We are asking anyone who indicated they can help with the BBQ to please come for ~ 9:30 am (when we begin set up). We will set up, BBQ and serve food & drinks to the 275 hungry Grade 8 students.
At 12 noon the kids leave for Killarney Lake for an afternoon of fun in the sun and swimming. While they are gone (beginning at 1pm), we will be in the field house creating a tropical paradise for the kids to return to.
The children are due to arrive back from Killarney Lake at 2:30pm. They will go home at regular time to get ready for the dance. (Don't forget to tell them to dress Tropical casual).
The LUAU Dance is scheduled to start at 6:00 pm. Parents who would like to come help out are being asked by the school to come between 5:30 and 5:45pm in order to get everyone organized. In addition to the dancing, fun tropical activities and delicious food will be part of the festivities. (For those donating food, please remember to avoid nuts, seafood and kiwi due to allergies).
The sun will set on our Luau at 8:30pm at which time the dance will end and we'll do a quick takedown of decorations and a cleanup.
We would welcome all NMS parents who may be interested in helping out, to come and join the fun. What better way to send off our grade 8 students than with a strong sense of community as they prepare to sail off in the sunset to LHHS.

Thank you in advance for your help and let the fun begin.....
