ANNOUNCEMENT DAY - April 20


WOW! What an amazing afternoon of celebration! Many local people came to the school to sing and share their talent. It was wonderful to see over 200 people (including our school population) gather together to hear the big news! Guests from Eastern School District, MHA Charlene Johnson, and MP Scott Andrews showed their support by celebrating with us.  With the lights darkened and white gloves glowing, committee members took to the stage to make the announcement near the end of the program. As signs with white letters were lifted, audience members in anticipation shouted, “WE’VE………WON……..A……… PLAY………GROUND……….AWARD!”  It was a spectacular "blacklight" moment!  Seconds later, balloons drifted to the floor from the balloon drop as children screamed, cheered, and just yelled with excitement! After a few moments of cheering, the gymnasium regained order just in time to watch our LTBK Announcement Video. Emotions were soaring as those in attendance began to recognize the significance of the day. Cake and refreshments were a great ending to a great day!

Waiting in anticipation!
