On May 5, the Onslow Home and School Association put on a pancake breakfast for around 100 people as a fundraiser for new playground equipment. In addition, visitors to the school could peruse over a dozen different vendors selling their wares in various classrooms, as well as a book fair.
Home and School President Stacy Johnston explained that while there has been a fall sale for the past decade, this is the first year they’ve had one in the spring.

She explained the group has been looking to purchase some new playground equipment for quite some time and added that a structure will be installed this summer for the next school year.
“For the last two years, this has been our big project,” she said.
By trying out the spring time slot, she said they were looking to pick up some business from the Mother’s Day shoppers, and Johnston said that around 10 volunteers worked behind the scenes to make it all happen.
Throughout the gym and various classrooms, everything from knitted garments to spice mixes to cosmetics were for sale, once shoppers had eaten their fill of pancakes.
