Temple Beth Sholom Schools Hosts Celebrating Our Differences

Temple Beth Sholom Schools (www.tbsschools.org), a Sarasota preschool to eighth grade private school, is hosting Celebrating Our Differences, a special event collaboration with Embracing Our Differences, on Saturday, March 7 at Michael’s On East in Sarasota.

Directly benefiting Temple Beth Sholom Schools (TBSS), this signature and annual fundraiser promises to be a fun-filled, interactive evening. In addition to a delicious dinner, photo booth with props and DJ, there will be a chance drawing game, school-oriented silent auction and a classroom wish list wall.

Attendees will hear briefly from Dan Ceasar, TBSS’ new head of school, and past TBSS alumni. Guests will also see an entertaining collaborative program with Embracing Our Differences.

“This mission-driven event supports Temple Beth Sholom Schools and the community,” said Kyla Weiner, an event co-chair along with Hilary Yunis. “It’s all about celebrating our differences. This back-to-basics look at fundraising is to raise money for TBSS’ mission of doing the right thing and providing high-quality education for the students and superior training for its staff.”

Embracing Our Differences is an organization that believes diversity is one of the world’s greatest assets. The centerpiece of Embracing Our Differences is an outdoor, juried international art exhibit featuring 39 billboard-size images created by local, national and international artists, writers and students reflecting their interpretations of the theme “enriching lives through diversity”. Temple Beth Sholom Schools (TBSS) students have been involved since its 2004 inception.

Tickets are $175 each. For more information and reservations, please call 941-552-2770 or e-mail skabel@tbsschools.org.
