50s & 60s Day is Friday, February 18th and takes place in school. The main event will be a 50s-style game show with contestants from all of the social studies classes. There will also be limbo, hula-hoop, and yo-yo contests and a sock hop. Thanks to the generosity of the School & PAT it is free for students.
