Olympic Heights High School is having a “Spring Fling” event next Friday from 6-10 pm.
Update: See comment at bottom for more details.
We’re not completely sure we understand how the event works, but here’s a video about it from a guy named Nate Horowitz. We haven’t figured out his connection to OH, but maybe he’s a dad.
The event came to our attention when we were in Somerset Shoppes and saw a flyer in a store window. If anyone at OH wants to give us more details, we’ll be happy to update this article.
