For 40 years, Sydenham High's annual fashion show has been a popular sold-out spring event. This year's show will feature fashion from 20 local stores, with music from four decades and the local band Rock Bottom. The audience will compete for real prizes in interactive game shows from the past 40 years and there'll be a retro peek at fashions from the 70's.

To celebrate the show's 40th anniversary, there will be a special evening just for alumni. Everyone who has ever participated in the show, whether as tech, backstage, model, or musician, is invited to come to an anniversary gala. Please get in touch with show coordinater, Shelley Brooks, at SHS, 613-376-3027; brooks@limestone.on.ca

All profits go to the Haiti Fund run by two fashion show alumni, and to sponsor students in need at SHS.

Public show will be Friday, March 5, 7pm: alumni only evening is Saturday March 6, beginning with social hour at 6:00 pm. Tickets available at SHS and Sydenham One-Stop.
