Thank You for a Wonderful Gala!
Wow—what a wonderful night we had this last Saturday! Thank you so much to each and every family for all the work they put into the gala. Our students were charming hosts, they danced and sang beautifully, and our student speakers were compelling ambassadors for our mission. We are so grateful for the work they put into this event.
We still have more donations to tally, but so far the results are looking great! Thank you to all the families that put in work before, during, and after the gala. This beautiful and successful evening would not have been possible without you.
On Monday, we look forward to revealing the winner of the House competition for raffle sales!

On their pilgrimage to Mexico, our seniors will be visiting the Shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe. When they are there, they will be praying for the intentions of our community, as well as their own. If you have any intentions that you would like our seniors to bring to Our Lady, please include them here. Our Lady of Guadalupe, pray for us!
