Cancellation of SPRING FLING 2020

Cancellation of our main annual fundraiser:

It is with great sadness that we’re announcing the cancellation of this school year’s SPRING FLING :(

Our Principal, Matt Carruthers, sent a message on Thursday, April 16 to all Parents & Guardians of Dickens Students stating:

“Your PAC held its first virtual meeting last week and among other things, we discussed the status of the 2020 SPRING FLING. We felt that given the circumstances and uncertainty surrounding the balance of the school year, it makes the most sense to cancel this year’s event. When school is back in session, we look forward to planning a celebration for the ages”.   

NEW TO SPRING FLING?
