That is what this year's Angels Among was... the Best Ever! Thank you to those who were able to come out and support the event and thank you to all who played a part in making it happen. The artwork provided by Julianne and the students was beautiful. Mr. Larson's video had everyone smiling. No one could resist golf with Coach Green and Irish Whiskey with Fr. Dermot and Fr. Tim. What really pulled the money in were our two top live auction items -- a private plane ride to The Keys and Dino Adventure with Mrs. Hoffmann!! Maria was a hit with a standing ovation and a paddle war for a chance to dig for fossils with her. A big thank you to Maria and all the volunteers who worked that night making it a memorable evening. The biggest thanks goes to the conductor of the evening - Nicki. She really knows how to throw a party!
What set this Angels apart from the others was the beautiful appetizer display on the patio, the live band, the selection of beautiful mini desserts, and the gorgeous ice sculpture. What also made it special is that many of these items were donated. Everyone was complimentary on a job well done. It was also wonderful seeing many of the families who were here when we first opened the school AND three of our alumni attended - Shane Westbrock, JJ Niekro, and master of ceremonies Angelo Searls.
As we conclude Trimester 1 we have some fun prepared for parents and students. Thursday, parents will see the result of our first STREAM project and Friday is our Harvest Festival. The office will send out an email inviting parents to come on Thursday to the STREAM event, but teachers should also include it in your weekly communication or put it on ParentsWeb. Students can also write an invitation to their parents inviting them to see their work. Friday is Parent/Teacher conference day. Please let Gina and Karen Biase know your schedule so that we can be sure to have coverage in the front office to let parents in. Please know that if you schedule meetings after 4 pm you will need to meet them either at the front door or at the Angel's Wing gate. Remind parents (even those coming to Angel's Wing) that they must come to the front door before 4 pm as we cannot prop the gate open.
Thank you again to everyone for all the effort put into our Third Year Review. I will discuss it briefly at our Faculty Meeting on Monday and will review it in detail once I receive the powerpoint and write up from Mary Camp. I will be at the Bethany Center on Friday at an Administrator's meeting and then on Tuesday morning, I have a Hillsborough County Principal's meeting. Have a great week everyone!
