河景’s 梦之村联欢晚会 Continues to Break Records; Fund-A-Dream Paddle Raise This Year Will Support Staff Development!
在周五, 6月14日, 河景 School welcomed nearly 400 people to our annual 梦之村联欢晚会. 在河景, we provide exceptional programming for our students, and a key component of this is recruiting, 发展中, and retaining a dedicated and passionate staff. To this end, our 2024 Fund-A-Dream was focused on raising funds to invest in staff development. With ever-发展中 advancements in the educational world, this Fund-A-Dream will help 河景 remain at the forefront of educating students who learn differently.
The Gala and auction took place under an open-air tent, located in the center of the 河景 campus on the MC Greene Field. This annual event continues to set records, with the 2024 event raising over $1.400万年!
Prior to the start of the evening’s events, 与会者与家人混在一起, 朋友, 和河景员工, and were treated to a lively cocktail hour. Guests were welcome to take part in the ever-favorite wine toss, 参观以花卉为主题的照相亭, and even had the chance to enter the diamond raffle to win a stunning sapphire and diamond necklace. Supporters enjoyed bidding on the many exciting silent auction items on display, 从美术, 餐饮场, 娱乐体验, to one-of-a-kind 河景-specific items and luxury destinations. At the live auction (a staple of the event) guests raised their bidding paddles for some of the more expansive packages, including lavish trips overseas to destinations such as Paris, 希腊, 安圭拉岛, 和意大利.
At the start of the event’s proceedings, a student band aptly named: 岩石上! took the stage as guests migrated to their designated dinner tables. 一次坐, attendees were welcomed by Head of School Stewart Miller, 谁说晚会了, as well as the strength of 河景’s staff.
每年, 晚会表彰的是一位“造梦人”,” a person who exemplifies the 河景 ideology and gives back to the community in ways that are hard to quantify. 今年, the award was presented to 律师 and former chair of the ARC of the United States and the ARC of Massachusettes, 弗雷德Misilo. Fred is a trust and estate attorney with over 35 years of experience working for clients with complex needs, and has worked with countless 河景 families and guided them through the “接下来会发生什么?”的过程.
Rounding out the evening was the Fund-A-Dream paddle raise, which kicked off with an inspired staff-focused video to showcase the direct impact that supporting our staff will have on 河景’s programs. Pre-pledged捐款, including $100 from the student body (raised by the student government), brought out the best in donors across the event, 最终超过了500美元,为员工发展筹得1万英镑!
这真的需要一个村庄, and the Gala could not have been made possible without the dedication of the 40+ person committee, led by Gala Chair Linda Ledoux and Gala Co-Chair Barb Noble, hard-working volunteers (many of whom are 河景 staff), 优秀的供应商和合作伙伴, and the immense generosity of 河景 School’s devoted sponsors and donors. We thank everyone who was able to support this event, 他们是否在帐篷下面, 或者从远方捐赠!
特别感谢我们的赞助商
