3. 2014 Gala
The tenth annual school gala - Prom: The Retro Romance - will be here before you know it! The school is currently looking for items to list in our silent and live auction during the event, and if you have any, it's time to send them in to the Advancement office! We are also looking for some volunteers to help us solicit items from their favorite local businesses. While you are out doing your holiday shopping, please take this item donation form to your favorite businesses and ask for their support of our school! We are especially interested in items in the men's, collegiate, beauty, and evening-out categories. Please consider picking up an item in one of these categories for the auction when you are doing your shopping during the holidays.
We have had some great items come in so far! To check them out (and plan your purchases ahead of time), view our photo album online!
