“It does help with fundraising as well. Fundraising is very important to us. We fill gaps with maintenance, etc, where we fell short from the department side, but it’s an absolutely fantastic show, sold out for three nights. We sold about a thousand tickets. An absolutely amazing event for our parents and our kids, just to enjoy something that is not sport or academics.”
