Our school community makes this event successful, and no matter what you did, from Chairing a committee all year, to picking up a gift certificate, to helping set the tables, to cleaning up the aftermath, or simply chose to attend the Auction, every bit counts and we are thankful for each and every person who helped in any way. Our two-year term as Co-Chairs is up. We have truly enjoyed the people we. We certainly couldn’t have done this without YOU!
Warmly - Ann Martin and Kristen Hinthorn
