Lots of preparations are going on for our Spring Gala. Parents and teachers are working on art projects, auction items, sponsorships, and preparations for the venue. This is our largest school fundraiser, and we truly need everyone's support. Please find a way to be involved. If you are part of a business, a sponsorship is a great marketing opportunity. If there is a local restaurant, store, or activity that you frequent, they may be interested in donating an item for our auction. We hope that all families will attend the Gala on Saturday, May 4 at Les Crepes in Carytown. There is always great food, drinks, music, and fun, so invite some friends. Tickets will be on sale soon. See you there!
