Show your support for academic excellence at South while enjoying an evening with new and old friends.
Tickets include delicious light fare catered by Wild Pear, along with local beer, wine and cider. Meet our principal, Tara Romine, hear from teachers that are benefitting from your generosity, and listen to live music while you peruse teachers' wish lists around the room.
We can't wait to see you there! If you have any questions, please email foundation@southsaxons.com.
Can't make it to the Gala? We understand! You can still help a teacher help students with donations towards any of these requests below! Any dollar you donate goes directly to meet our fantastic teachers' requests. AND any donation you make automatically enters you into a raffle for a Gift Basket (we will contact you by email).
Please note that these are a subset of the many great requests; your donations can also support our clubs with snacks or materials to help them share their diverse backgrounds, or to learn about nutrition by studying Blue Zones, or helping take them on career-oriented field trips. Our kids' opportunities know no bounds with our support!
