In addition to the annual Spook Spectacular, the Community Club sponsored variety shows in March 1974 and March 1976.   Parents and staff were involved in the meal preparation and shows.   Not only did the Community Club raise money for the school, but it was a lot of fun for the workers, actors, and the audience.
