📼🎶WOW — WHAT A NIGHT!🎶📼

A HUGE thank you to everyone who came out to our 90’s Music Bingo Night!

We had over 90 people join us for an evening full of laughs, singing, 90’s throwbacks, amazing outfits and SO much fun! 🎤💿 There were lots of lucky winners, an incredible selection of silent auction items, and some seriously enthusiastic 90’s singing. 😂

We are so grateful to everyone who attended, donated silent auction items, volunteered, helped behind the scenes, and supported our fundraiser! Events like this wouldn’t be possible without our amazing community!

Every dollar raised helps Bowser Elementary PAC support programs, activities, special events and extras that enrich our students’ school experience.

Thank you for showing up, having fun and supporting our kids!

And judging by the singing last night… apparently we all remember WAY more 90’s lyrics than we thought! 😂🎶📼

THANK YOU!
