Fall Fest - October 8

We are excited to host the Fall Fest Dance this Saturday, October 8. This is an amazing concert style event! Doors for the dance will open at 8 p.m. and close at 9:30 p.m. Any student that believes they will be late to the dance should speak to Mrs. Laaksonen prior to Saturday. The dance will conclude at 11:30 p.m. Once students leave the dance, they may not re-enter. For the student's convenience, we will have a 'valuables check' available for phones, wallets and purses, and we encourage students to make use of this.

All NDA students MUST have their IDs to gain entry to the dance. Non NDA students should bring a photo ID with them.

Haven't purchased tickets yet? You may do so online through noon tomorrow, or in person during lunches tomorrow. NDA students only may also purchase them at the door.

Please send any questions you may have to jlaaksonen@notredameacademy.com.
