Celebrating one hundred years of educational growth this Saturday September 16th at Beachburg Public School. Kicking off the fun at 11AM with a BBQ for all for the first hour, Grads from BPS will be operating facepainting booths for all ages, and popcorn will be available all the way until 4PM.
myFM spoke with Jessica Barton, the chair of the Beachburg public School Centennial celebration, who shared the community’s anticipation for this weekend, along with some juicy details about the history involved.
There will an open house, full up with displays for all the memories gathered in the form of artifacts, memorabilia, and other tokens by the parents and students over the last century.
Live music from The Fiddlers will be starting at 130PM with an appearance by The Beachburg Connection. Speeches will begin at around 2PM. The principal of Beachburg Public School, some current and retired trustees, Mayor Neil Nicholson, and Mrs. Grace Stevens will be speaking as well, as her family essentially started Beachburg all those years ago.
Make sure you bring cash with you to take part in their raffles, all in the name of improving the playground equipment at the school.
