ALC Celebrating Summer and Community
A. Lorne Cassidy Elementary School Council is inviting students, families, and the wider Stittsville community to a year-end bonanza June 27th.
Featuring food, games, face painting, nail art, a braid bar, henna, sports, balloon twisting, a bouncy castle, and even a Nerf Zone, this carnival-style celebration is meant to gather the community, toast the dwindling school year, and create excitement for the upcoming summer break. Radio station Hot 89.9 will be keeping the excitement level high with on-site music and entertainment.
Organizers say the rain-or-shine event will kick off at 5 pm on the ALC grounds (27 Hobin Street), just in time to enjoy dinner with family and friends. Several popular food trucks will be on hand, including Big D’s Dog House and Poutine Emporium, Pizza All’Antica, Stella Luna Gelato, and Caffeine Fix. Counsellor Shad Qadri and his team will be serving cotton candy and snow cones to anyone with a sweet tooth.
Under the tents, revellers will be able to visit HoneyDrop Body Art and Lee Ann Racine for face painting, Ms. Twisty for balloon twisting, Henna Boutique for henna designs, or nail and hair artists from Stittsville’s Mahogany Salon & Spa for added style.
Guests are invited to bring along a dart-style shooter to play in the Nerf Zone. Targets, team pinnies, goggles, and darts will be provided. For safety, dart play will be restricted to a designated area.
A portion of proceeds from these activities and from food sales will be donated to school council for future events, so please bring some spending money!
Local ambulance, fire, and police services will be on hand for photos and safety tips at various points in the evening, and kids can have their picture taken with Paw Patrol characters. Music and dancing, soccer, and basketball, and Tysen’s Mission to a Million, will be ongoing until the 9 pm close time.
