Pizza and drinks will be served after the program, and Cape Assist Staff will be available for questions.
Woodbine Municipal Alliance will have a table with informational materials as part of the event. A Proclamation from the Mayor will be presented by the Alliance prior to the presentation.
Earlier on the day of this presentation, the School will hold its “Race to Read” day, which will complement its “Race Against Drug & Alcohol” initiative.
The Spring Book Fair is being held the week of May 11-18. On the afternoon of May 14, from 2:30 to 5, there will be a Family Night, with crafts, readers, and other attractions.
