Hear it in context
Notice where the phrase sounds natural.
Our school event this Friday is a talent show, and everyone is excited to watch.
One memorable school event I attended was a cultural festival where students performed traditional dances and shared food from different countries.
Fix the pattern
One small grammar move makes it sound right.
Not: We have a school event in Friday.
Say: We have a school event on Friday.
ON a day of the week, not 'in'.
Which sounds natural?
Tap the one a native speaker would say.
'A scholastic function' is absurdly formal; 'school event' is normal.
