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!
