Annual Benefit

A Joy-Filled 30th Birthday Celebration!

This spring, we invite our whole community to come together to celebrate something truly special: 30 years of learning, growing, and becoming at our school.

Our Spring Benefit this year will feel like a child’s birthday party in the very best way. Think colorful party hats and streamers, good food and drink shared with friends, and the warmth of being part of something meaningful. It will be an evening full of joy, connection, and gratitude for the many hands and hearts that have shaped our school over three decades.

Guests will have the chance to bid on and win beautiful handmade items created by our students, along with other special offerings. These pieces reflect the creativity, care, and imagination that live in our classrooms every day and make this celebration truly one of a kind.

Most of all, this evening is about community. Whether you are a longtime family, a recent arrival, an alum, or a friend of the school, you belong here. The Spring Benefit is a time to gather, to laugh, to honor the past, and to support the future of our school together.

SAVE THE DATE: Saturday, May 9th, 2026

More details coming soon. We cannot wait to celebrate with you.
