Night on the Upper Beach – Wrap Up

by Jeny Nussey · April 9, 2019

Night on the Upper Beach was a fantastic success, raising over $10,000 for Adam Beck! This was our first year holding the event at the Community Centre, and the feedback has been outstanding.

We had amazing support from our parents and community as well as the Adam Beck faculty. The Kids Art Auction was a highlight of the night. We also enjoyed a free photo booth, awesome DJ, delicious food, and Radical Road beer that was donated for the event. Dave from Fearless Meats even showed up with ice cream!

Thanks to our lead sponsor, BMO, and supporting sponsor Dashwood & Dashwood, as well as all of the local businesses and parents who donated to the silent auction.

Miss Scenna was instrumental in making this evening happen, with lots of support from Miss Newnham and all of the teachers. Prints of the kids’ art will be on sale via School Cash Online for $10 each for a 6×8” print.

Finally, a huge thank you to our volunteers:

Thanks for making the effort to bring this to our attention. The committee strives to make their graphics diverse and to be representative of students at Adam Beck, so your comment is helpful and appreciated. The committee will use it to make their graphics more inclusive going forward.

Is there a reason the kids on the poster are all matched by race? This is really odd. My kid was one of the only black kids in his grade. I really think this poster could have been better thought out.

I will submit my idea formally a bit later, but for now… Mr. Mason and I have chatted about a ukulele club and/or the potential for students to learn how to play the ukulele. I believe Kimberly PS has something in place already after school. So, we would need budget to purchase a few dozen ☺️
