Nepean High School - Parent Fundraising Gala
Parents, guardians, alumni and friends of Nepean High School are
cordially invited to support our first ever parent-organized
Fundraising Gala, taking place at the school on Thursday, November 20
from 7 - 10 pm.
The event has been carefully designed to not only raise funds, but
also to provide a festive atmosphere in which parents and other adult
members of the school community can mingle while enjoying delicious
international-themed hors d'oeuvres supplied by famed local caterer
Dave Smith. Live musical entertainment will be on hand as well,
including the renowned Ottawa jazz vocal group Quintessence,
featuring Nepean music teacher Jean-Francois Fauteux.
Silent and live auctions will take place throughout the evening;
anyone wishing to make a donation to enhance the collection of goods
and services on offer, or to sponsor the event to defray costs, is
encouraged to please contact Event Chair, Carolyn Montague, at
carolyn.montague(a)sympatico.ca.
We have worked with school staff to select three focus areas for this
year's event, which are Healthy Lifestyles and Athletics, the Arts
(Drama, Music, Visual) and Helping Student Success. Nepean's
dedicated teachers have come up with a "wish list" of the most urgent
needs, including additional materials such a weight bench and
accompanying weights, a power clean station, display showcases,
specialized chairs for musicians, design software for the Arts, Smart
Boards, Audio Books, guest speakers and more.
Representatives from Nepean's teaching staff will be on hand at the
Gala to explain these areas of need and reinforce why we as parents
are being asked to support the school's fundraising goals to ensure
an enhanced educational and extracurricular experience for all of
Nepean's 1200+ students. Donation stations will be set up to allow
you to earmark your contributions to support the focus area of your
choice.
Please note that tickets are $30 in advance or $35 at the door.
Donations and auction payments can be made by cash or cheque only and
tax receipts will be issued for all monetary contributions over $10.
Watch for more details on this exciting event throughout the fall.
Additional volunteers are also needed to make this event a success.
If you can spare a few hours to help out, please contact
carolyn.montague(a)sympatico.ca. All are welcome to attend the next
Gala planning meeting, being held in the school library at 7pm on
Thursday, September 25.
We are looking forward to seeing you at the Gala on November 20th!
