School fundraisers this weekend!

On Saturday there are a couple of separate evenings planned to help raise support for local schools….here’s the scoop for Paideia School‘s event Saturday night, followed by Spring Street International School‘s Auction & Dinner:

A Night of Family Fun: Paideia School‘s Hoedown

Seventh & eighth graders at Paideia School...

We’re celebrating ten years of classical education with a “Hoedown Under the Stars” which includes a fabulous barbecue dinner, silent auction, dancing and a display of photos from the 10 years. It’s fun watching the kids grow up and go on to Friday Harbor High School and now college!

The event is Saturday, April 30th at the Beaverton Valley Business Park Building, 70 Saltspring off Beaverton Valley Road.  The silent auction begins at 5pm, dinner at 6:15, and dessert and dancing will start at 8pm.

Like our big event in 2008 at the fair ground, we’ve transformed the large building with a romantic dance floor, country store of $5-20 items, picture booth, Sweet Tooth Saloon for Italian sodas and Andy’s Chuckwagon serving up his mouth-watering smoked ribs and fire roasted bread.

Advance reservations are $25 for adults, $10 for children 6-12 yrs and 5 and under are free. Just call 378-8322 to reserve your seat at this price, otherwise it’s more at the door! Babysitting is available for those who need it, but it’s really a family friendly event!
