News from Viscount Alexander Public School

The 3rd annual Viscount Alexander Public School Dance Party & Games Night happened again on Friday, February 21. It was fantastic!
We asked two students who attended this dance party/game night why they liked it:
“All my friends are here,” said Beatrice (Grade 6) and Saoirse (Grade 5) said, “I like the music.”
It started at 6:00 pm and ended at 8:00 pm. In the gym there is music blasting and cool lights set up. We all get Glow sticks to light up the gym too. The best songs were Please, Please, Please (Sabrina Carpenter) and Birds of a Feather (Billie Eilish) and Shuffle of Love (Descendants Movie).
This was the first year the School Council sold homemade ice cream sandwiches: they were made with Bear Paws cookies and ice cream in the middle.
For kids who like games, and not as much dancing, there are also Minute-to-Win-It games in the library: this year we played Ready Spaghetti, Stick to it and Tortilla head. Our favorite game was Tortilla head—you have a tortilla on a spatula and you have to flip it to a plate attached to your head (with a string) in 60 seconds. In another classroom, there are lots of board games to play.
The dance party/game night was supposed to be Thursday, February 13 but it was delayed because of the snow conditions. It was sad to postpone it, but we knew it could be rescheduled. Over 150 students and parents took part in the event.
Friida Lotan & Norah Evans are in Grade 5 at Viscount Alexander school.
