On Saturday night, we all witnessed another example of how we live out the mission. So many friends, parents, volunteers, students and teachers came together "...with a shared sense of purpose and dedication" to ensure that the auction was a huge success. Our students benefit directly from your support of this venture. We are all so grateful for the many hours you volunteered, the guests you encouraged to attend and of course the items you donated and the money you spent at the auction. The fact that we all enjoyed a terrific night out was an added bonus!

We, the faculty, staff and I give a huge 'shout-out' and thank you to Judy Fontaine who chaired the auction and captained the ship. The committee chairs, her first mates, included Kristen Agbalog, May Alipao, Teresa Jensen, Tessa Brown, Tana Blair, Sonya Fukeda, Cindy Corsilles, Patti Rhondenburg, and Michael and Celeste Lucas from the Pig Iron BBQ.
