Plenty of slurping was going on in the Arbor Heights Elementary School gymnasium during the AH PTSA sponsored Annual Spaghetti and Open House night Thursday, Oct. 7. A long, hungry line of young students and parents and friends were handed a cardboard paper plate at the kitchen's entrance by the elegantly-dressed school principal, Dr. Carol Coram, who did not seem to get a drop of sauce on her the whole night.

Volunteers, including some youngsters, dished out the pasta while a rotating band of students played classical music on stage. After dinner, the open house technically began, although there were plenty of residents roving the hallways, classrooms and stairways through the night.

Café Revò owner Sofia Zadra Goff donated food, and helped out in the kitchen, while her daughter, Maya, played a portion of Beethoven's 9th Symphony on hr the flute, joined on stage with the band members.

Also donating were Safeway, QFC, Trader Joes, Metropolitan Market, B & E Meats, Zeeks Pizza, and Angelina's.

Other area schools also held open houses, sans spaghetti.
