Thank You for Making Family Fun Night A Success

Thanks to everyone who came out last Saturday to the first Family Fun Night since 2019! We had an amazing turnout and we raised a gross revenue of almost $12,800! Thank you to our Silent Auction Chair, Mara Brandes, to our Room Parents who went above and beyond, creating classroom baskets for the silent auction, and to our amazing FFN crew, who were able to organize this despite three weeks off for Fall break!  We’d also like to send out a special thanks to our cultural booth volunteers, who put together beautiful booths representing China, Iran, Israel, Mexico, and South America and reminding us of our wonderful diverse community. We are very grateful to our school administration: Principal Vlasic, Asst. Principal Grooters, Ex. Asst. Bernadette Truffa, and our amazing lead custodian, Miguel Gudino! Let’s give a round of applause to our community partner booths:
Last but not least, thank you to all of our volunteers who signed up to help out! Volunteers truly are the heart of our community! Thanks to all of you, our school will continue to achieve academic excellence and support our dedicated teachers! If you’d like to get involved with Family Fun Night next year, please make sure to fill out the Volunteer Opportunities Form.
