INTRODUCING THE SMCHS BLUE AND GOLD COMMITTEE!
Be a part of it!
For 27 years, SMCHS has celebrated its annual fundraising event with the Valentasia Gala. We are grateful for Valentasia and everything it has done to benefit our school. After much thought, consideration, and prayer, it has been decided that the time has come to reinvent the SMCHS signature fundraising event. Going forward, the SMCHS Blue and Gold Committee is the committee that will join together to create an unforgettable, high energy, momentum-filled event that will bring parents together as an Eagle family and raise funds for our school. No doubt, the 2014 Blue and Gold Committee will have FUN along the way!!! Another change taking place for our signature event of the year is the date. Our fundraising event will now be held in the Fall instead of in February. Plans are beginning to be made for our inaugural Blue and Gold Committee event, "An Evening Under The Stars", being held ON CAMPUS in the grotto and gym.
If you've been looking for a way to get involved at SMCHS, please join us for the Blue and Gold Committee Kick-off meeting being held on Monday, March 31 in the third Floor Eagle Athletic Center from 9:30am-11:00am. Come share your talents! We look forward to seeing you. Please contact Event Chairmen: Ann Marie Jennison and Amy Cramer to RSVP or with any questions.
