Collaborative Community Irish Dinner (Menu & Entertainment)

Our Irish dinner plans are in jeopardy!! The deadline for making reservations was Monday, March 8th. As of this writing, very few families of students, teachers and administrative staff have signed up. Food needs to be ordered Tuesday afternoon, March 9th. Please, if you plan to attend (and we hope you will!!!) please, please, please get your reservation money ($5/person) in to the front office by Noon on Tuesday. This is the only way we will know how many people to expect Friday night or if we need to cancel the event due to lack of sufficient reservations.

Tuesday at Noon will be the drop dead luck ‘o the Irish absolutely positively last chance to sign up.

The Sugg Sisters are scheduled to perform a traditional Irish dance, the Middle School is baking traditional Irish Soda Bread to sell, we have parents volunteering to make potato soup (and we could use more volunteers!), The Secret of Roan Inish will be the featured movie and a sneak peek of the parade float can be taken. (Parade participants are encouraged to attend the dinner to be briefed of last minute parade day logistics.)

SPMA’s Chi Running Club participation in the Shamrock 5K

On Saturday morning you are invited to run with the SPMA Chi Running Club in the Shamrock 5K to lend your support and show school spirit! Register here.

SPMA’s float to participate in the HHI St. Patrick’s Day Parade

The SPMA Eco-Carnival parade float is going to be a smash hit! Details for participants have been updated here. We hope that many SPMA families will walk, push strollers and pull wagons alongside the float with their children. Let’s show HHI as many of our Preprimary, Primary, Elementary and Middle School students as possible! The more, the merrier…and the better chance we have to win another Grand Marshal’s Award! Come out and show your school spirit!! Please read Parade Day details here.
