One possible version:
Dear Mr White,
Our school will hold a special 14th Birthday Growth Ceremony. I'd like to invite you to join us. The event will take place at 2 p.m. next Friday in the school hall.
There are many wonderful activities. First, there will be student talent shows and I will sing an English song. Then, we'll sing a birthday song together and cut a big cake. The most important part is the Growth Promise Ceremony, where we'll make promises for our future. Finally, teachers and students can take photos together to remember this important day.
This ceremony means a lot to us. If you come, I believe it'll be perfect!
With love,
Jack
