Family Fun Night at Skate World! - Thursday, Feb. 5th, 6:30-8:30 pm

Saturday, January 31st, 2009

Been a while since you’ve laced up and rolled around the rink?

On Thursday, February 5th at 6:30 pm, the PTSA will hold a Family Fun Night at Skate World.

This is a win-win for everyone.  Kids have a great time, parents get much needed exercise,  and part of the proceeds go right back to the school. In fact, Skate World will give back up to 25% of the earnings if we have 50 people.  Even if we have only 10, they will give our school 20%.

So come on out and show off your moves.  It’ll be a blast!
