2025

It's been an incredible Kiwanis Festival for Pearson this year, and we're so excited to share some of the highlights with you tonight. Thanks to:

• all the students who participated,

• the Kiwanis Music Festival Board, volunteers, and adjudicators,

• parents, families, and caregivers for your unwavering support,

• the Pearson staff for their exceptional flexibility with coverage and giving up the gymnasium,

• Rob Cairns, Flo, and Mark at Metropolitan United Church for the use of their space, and their tech expertise,

• Sydney (8RM) & Taylor (8KH) for hosting tonight's concert, and

• Maëlle (8KH) for designing the poster and program cover. 

- Mr. Allison & Mr. Van Pelt

• Please silence all electronic devices.

• Please do not talk during performances. 

• As audience participation and corresponding etiquette is an integral part of the performance, we would ask that all parents remain until the completion of the Kiwanis Showcase concert. We have strived to make this evening as short as possible and still celebrate the accomplishments of our wonderful students. Thank you for coming together tonight as a school community!

• If you feel so inclined, we'd greatly appreciate any contributions for tonight's concert. These donations will go toward our Winds and Strings programs.

• Please visit this SchoolCash Online link to donate, or scan the donation QR code outside the auditorium before you leave!
