This past weekend was the Orange County campus’ long awaited Gala.  The evening was an amazing success.  Gala committee volunteers estimate the evening raised over $45,000 which is truly an accomplishment for a campus with less than 200 students!  This far exceeds the May 2007 record attained at the campus’ last gala which raised $23,000.   The hard work of the team of volunteers headed by parents Nahid Colton and Mylene Jurjis really paid off!  The proceeds feed the campus’ building development fund at a very crucial time for this campus is actively trying to relocate to find a bigger site that will allow it to grow the school and expand the program through the 8^th grade.  To get a little glimpse of the evening follow the link below to a slide show prepared by campus director Pascal Stricher.  Bravo, Orange County, a beautiful evening, a good cause, and a wonderful success!
