NCPS plans for 50th anniversary party

Nottawasaga and Creemore Public School is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year and the party planning is underway.

The school is looking for contributions from the community and is collecting photos and memorabilia to share during an open house and anniversary celebration on June 8.

The date was originally set for May 10 but school principal Alison Golding said due to a conflict with a number of school board officials, the date has been changed.

The public is invited to attend a planning meeting at the school library at 6 p.m. on April 10.

So far, said Golding, the plan is to have an open house beginning at 4 p.m. followed by an official ceremony at 6:30 p.m., with special guests and speakers.

There will be student-led tours of the school, with classrooms decorated in the style of the school’s past decades, there will be food and cake.

Anyone interested in participating or donating is asked to contact Golding at 705-466-2624 ext. 25901 before April 7. She is hoping to find a business or service club willing to offer an outdoor food option.

Memorabilia can be dropped off at the school or send scans by e-mail to agolding@scdsb.on.ca before May 19.
