Freshman Class Homecoming Dinner

 

As previously communicated, the Radisson Indoor Recreation Center (formerly the Holiday Inn Holidome) has been booked for dinner from 6:30 – 7:30pm on September 24th for the Springs Freshman class Homecoming dinner. The meal will be $28 per person (tip and tax included).  Each student needs to bring $28 CASH to the dinner.

 

The meal will be buffet style and will include two pasta options, chicken, baby red potatoes, a vegetable, as well as a salad and drinks. The reservation can hold any amount of students so it is for the entire class and their dates as well. Anyone with or without a date is invited and encouraged to attend!

 

RSVP’s are needed right away.  Please let Samantha Baker (cell 920-251-1882) know if your child plans to attend and also if your child will be bringing a date so we have a head count for the evening.  The head count is due to the Radisson by this Saturday September 17th so please send your RSVP to Samantha by noon on Saturday, September 17th.

 

Jeremy and Coleen Feucht have graciously offered their home as a place for the class (and parents) to meet and take photos prior to dinner!  Thank you, Feucht family!   Their address is:
