Thank You to our INCREDIBLE Benefit Co-Chairs Adrienne Israel and Stephanie Gilliard-Paulson!
It was a memorable night, a dazzling night of color! The ballroom was filled with festive dresses (and bow ties) that provided splashes
of color, plus laughter, champagne, good food, and an enormous center piece; a hot air balloon made from hundreds of smaller balloons that was amazing!
It was a night of extraordinary generosity. It was flawless, brilliantly organized, and reflected the endless hours of work that went into the planning.
So many parents pitched in to help. Thank you!
This spectacular evening would not have been possible without the unbelievable Benefit Committee Chairs!

A huge thank you to our parents, alumni parents and teachers for making our dream of a Nature and Science Curriculum possible.
This program will have a long-term influence on our children’s appreciation and understanding of environmental issues and instilling in them a sense of
responsibility to protect our planet. We are overwhelmed and thrilled by the $85,000 raised to fund this program for the next 3 years.
