80s skate night

Good Evening Everyone!

I wanted to remind you to make sure and purchase your tickets for the upcoming 80's Skate Night, if you haven't already.  It's a great time to spend with the family and have some fun!  

Just a few reminders.....All children MUST be accompanied by an adult.  Everyone will need a ticket to enter Moonlight Roller way.  If you are a skating adult, the tickets are $15.00 each or if you are a non-skating adult, the tickets are $10.00 each.  All children are $10.00 each.  If you are writing a check, please make it out to MKS with 5th Grade Committee in the memo section.  

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.  I will be happy to assist you!

Have a great evening!
