PTA raised over $20,000 in one night at their end-of-year party and silent auction "Night of a Thousand Stars" last weekend. Donations included outings with teachers, a chance to be principal for a day, fresh eggs for a year, locally-crafted desserts for a year, artworks by parents and teachers, and services that ranged from a custom-tailored dress to a new hairdo.
With tacos served hot off the grill by Los Cilantros Catering, Stomping Girl wine on tap, and hosted at , the event on Saturday, June 11 was also a chance to build community, dance and have fun.
