Public School, and plans are gelling for the school\u2019s grand finale celebration next Saturday, May 23. <\/p>\n<p>All current and former students and faculty, as well as the community at large, are invited to come by from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. for a day of fun and memories, activities for the whole family, and mementos and artefacts celebrating the nearly 60 years of George Street Public School. <\/p>\n<p>A special highlight will take place at 11 a.m. as George Street students gather to perform a song entitled \u201cThe Best Years\u201d, a tribute to their school they recently recorded with Newmarket-based musician Glenn Marais. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe whole day is running as an open house,\u201d says co-organizer Lora Georgiou. \u201cClassrooms will be open, there will be a lot of photo memorabilia and outside, weather dependent, we will have a bouncy castle, some face painting, and entertainment for the whole family, along with a barbeque and refreshments at 1 p.m.\u201d<br \/>\nFor
