The first of what is to be an annual event at Prince Charles Public School went off without a hitch last Friday Night as Verona area residents flocked to the school to see student performers and adult bands for a bbq, dance, and silent auction.

School Council President Nicki Gowdy was pleased with the outcome of he event.

“There were a lot of people whose kids are 23 or 24 now, that came out to the school for the first time in years. That was the kind of reaction we wanted. The school is central to the community, and we wanted to celebrate that,” she said.
