What a way to kick off 2020 - Havana Good Time! Raise Your Class 2020 - another successful event, and all possible based on the ongoing support of our wonderful community, and for that, we want to thank you. A special thank you to our sponsors, we appreciate you and want our community to know your contributions helped fund the event:... Cool Painting, PG&E, Nannette Cartago, Ramez Bahu & Jameel Batshon, Big O Tires, CCR Insurance Service, PAR Law Firm, The Mia and Beverly Team and Wildwood Rustic Rentals. To those that spent many a night meeting and planning: Irene Padnos (those amazing desserts!), Kristy Lijesen (gorgeous decorations, and you’re always so patient when I go through my thought process ); Tammy Dehnert (the DRINKS - enough said), and Leslie Portugal - my co-chair partner in crime. I personally enjoyed going through this experience with you all, and I’m grateful for your commitment towards the school, our community and our students. Go Team! To the volunteers at and during the event, in particular Kevin Grier, our engaging Auctioneer and Emcee, who patiently was able to pivot on a second’s notice; Mary Miller - who helped guide me at the start of the event when those little details all of a sudden creep up and you’re standing there at a loss ; Jamie Schaible, for staying the entirety of the event even though she signed up for only one shift and ended up jumping into many; those that stepped out of volunteer retirement for a minute to help (Carmina Cahambing and Michelle Florkowski - I see you!); Catheryn Grier for the support and help through to the very end - thank you for stepping in as our PFSO President! To the PFSO Class Reps and Executive Board Members, thank you for all you do for all the kids, and thank you for helping our 2023 class navigate through our first year. I could go on and on with so many others to thank! We will post the Slideshow we were not able to play during the event (technical difficulties, of course), after we update it in the next couple of days, to share how many contribute to the success of this event. I am so proud to be a part of this community, and so happy that my two students are able to experience what it means to have this kind of support, it is humbling. Thank you, so very much. ~Diana
