Thank you for supporting out Gala
A big thank you to Mr. Zach Fimon for his planning of his 1st gala! He did an exceptional job leading us the last few months to make sure everything fell into place. The night would not have been possible without Sarah Svien and Gwen Conzemius. They have supported our gala over the years and their expertise helped fine tune every aspect of the gala.
Thank you to the following:
- Teachers for helping support many of our silent auction items, plan our photo booth, and helping students make decorations.
- Sarah Bowback for her help with programs, registration packets, and so much more.
- Beth Hillenbrand for planning the dessert dash and the parent volunteers that helped pick up desserts.
- Kelly Cunningham for entering the silent auction baskets into our gala website.
- Dave Gooley and his crew for their bartending skills.
- Milton's for providing a delicious meal once again.
- Our parents for contributing to the class silent auction baskets, washing table cloths, setting up and taking down the gym, setting up the silent auction, and hanging decorations.
- The parish office staff for helping with many last minute details.
Our Sacred Heart Catholic School community is the best. We are all in this together!
