It is preferred that tickets be purchased in advance, but last- minute guests may purchase them at the door the night of the event.
Adding his welcome, OLA School Principal Trevor Seivert, said, “Last year’s Spring Fling was such a hit, you won’t want to miss the fun this year!”
He said the entire school staff is planning the event and guests will have the opportunity to meet them during the gala.
Seivert added, “We invite everyone to enjoy an evening reminiscing about our school and all its accomplishments.”
Each school classroom contributed quality items for the fundraiser. Included in the live auction are: a quilt featuring a heart made from handprints, a fabric and wood cross mounted in a five-foot frame, a decorative end table, and a fairy garden.
