Count down to the 2024 GALA AND FUNDRAISER – May 4, 2023
- Wondering how our Gala proceeds have been used in the past? See HERE for a summary of the most recent ones.
- Funds raised in 2023 for school windows and teacher lounge have been earmarked for the Summer 2025 Renovations
- Tuition alone does not cover our expenses each year. We rely on the Gala to cover the gap and fund special projects over and above our regular expenses like the Front Office Renovation and the Teacher Endowment.
