❄️WINTER BALL ACCEPTING DONATIONS 🥳

In addition to the festivities, we will bring back our tradition of hosting a silent auction. This year, the auction will focus on gifts of time and talent from our school community. Party goers will have the chance to bid on things like Principal for a Day or Swim lessons with Chris Co throughout the event. It will be a meaningful and fun way to get to know each other and support our school! To donate, please fill out this form.

We will also accept material items as raffle prizes. Raffles will take place multiple times throughout the party. You must be present the night of Friday, 2/7 to play and win.
