We're really excited about this!
The great staff and students at Glenmore Elementary School here in Kelowna have decided to help us raise more funds for our Niteo Kids initiative.
They're holding two benefit concerts on April 14th at 6 and 7:30 p.m. at the Kelowna Community Theatre. Their goal is to raise $20 in donations for each seat -- for each show! -- and then put the proceeds towards the purchase of a mobile resource centre for the students around Kampala.
The show will be directed by Rhonda Draper, the amazingly talented music teacher who directed "A Charlie Brown Christmas" in 2008 and raised over $2000 for Niteo Kids. She's a great teacher who was honoured with the Governor General's Excellence in Teaching award last year -- that's a national award! -- and her productions are always full of joy and life.
The kids have prepared a variety of songs for our entertainment and they have fantastic costumes and props arranged, too. It should be a wonderful night, and it's certainly for a great cause.
Tickets are going to be available at a variety of locations in Kelowna, but the easiest way to get them is to contact the school directly at (250)762-3209.
