The annual Soirée is the school's premier fundraising event, generally sponsored by national and international businesses. Each spring, this gala event provides a wonderful opportunity for the entire parent community to come together in support of the school. The Soirée committee, comprised of tireless and dedicated volunteers, spends months planning every detail of the event—from choosing the location and menu to securing auction and raffle prizes, working with teachers and students to create one-of-a-kind art projects for guests to bid on, and managing the evening's activities and entertainment. While the theme of the Soirée changes from year to year, the event always includes dining, dancing, some champagne, and a great deal of fun. All proceeds benefit the school's general operating budget, as well as occasional specific programs and projects.
