We had the largest turnout ever and it was an evening built around gathering and community- so great to see so many alumni come as well- it is a testament to the impact that our school community has on our students. A BIG thank you to Lexi Castillo, Kirsten Murchison and all the parent volunteers who worked so hard to make the evening go so smoothly! The Hoodie raffle winner has been identified!
