The 2026 Kiwanis Festival has been a fantastic experience this year for Pearson, 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 at Metropolitan United Church for the use of the space, and his tech expertise,
Ryan (8RM) & McKenna (8KH) for hosting tonight's concert, and
Varonika (8RM) for designing the poster and program cover.Â
- Mr. Allison & Mr. Van Pelt
Please silence all electronic devices.
Please do not talk during performances.Â
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., which will go toward our Winds and Strings programs.
