The spaghetti dinner at Mason Crest Elementary School in Annandale April 8 was a huge success. “The place was packed. The food was a bargain and delicious,” reports Bob Kovacs.

The event was a fundraiser for the fifth-graders’ end-of-year celebration, and the fifth-graders were constantly on the move as hosts and servers. “I was impressed at how seriously they took their jobs. Those kids have a real future,” Kovacs says. Health-related exhibits and a zumba dance lesson rounded out the evening.
