Events
DJ Daddy Mack is back for our 90s-theme dance!
March 10th from 5-8pm.
Limited tickets are available via your willows.hotlunches.net account. $5 per person for a 5pm or 6:30 entry (times are a guideline). The earlier time slot is suitable for younger students (quieter music, brighter lights).
Please purchase a ticket for each adult and student attending. Tickets come with a free bag of mini chips at the door. Please bring water bottles or use the water fountain available, when you get thirsty!
Dance FAQ:
Q: If I purchase online, will I get a hard-copy ticket?
A: No. We will have a list at the door of everyone who purchased online (saving paper!)
Q: Will there be tickets at the door?
A: Yes. If space allows. Due to fire regulations, we have capped online and in-person ticket sales for each time block (5pm and 6:30pm) so that those who show up at the door should be able to get in.
Q: Is there any assistance for families who may need help purchasing tickets for their whole family?
A: Yes. As with all PAC-supported events (hot lunch, field trips, dances), finances should not be a barrier to participation. For confidentiality, please contact the principal who will arrange for a ticket/lunch/etc.
Q: Will there be food or drinks for sale?
A: No. We are going to keep things simple (and the custodians and volunteers happy) with no drinks (there is a water fountain!) and some free chips.
Q: What should I bring?
A: Nothing! Just yourselves. We will provide the music and sweet 90s atmosphere. You provide the dance moves!
