GALA STUDENT COMPETITION

You are invited to participate in the 2024 Gala! Your child will likely want you to help with the Gala because he/she is motivated by the prizes, but your participation is so much more than that.

You see, the goal for the Gala is to raise over $60,000 to support our students by funding new building furnishings. 

Our most recent Galas have raised funds to upgrade our signage, purchase new stage lights, gym bleachers, new chairs, and new lockers, renovate our locker rooms, purchase two Ford Transit vans, a new digital marquee, and a 2200 sq. foot shade canopy.

Your donation will make a visible difference on our campus, well into the future.

STEP 1: Choose a way to get involved.
A. Donate items for our auction.

Amazon Wish List >
Pinterest board: DIY project ideas >

B. Donate cash to an auction basket.

C. Ask your employer to donate to the auction or sponsor the event.* 

Print sponsor info to give to your employer. You'd be surprised! Many employers will give towards a charity their employee supports! (This costs you nothing but can make a huge difference!)


D. Ask a business near you to donate.* 

Print a letter & give to a local business. This is especially effective at businesses you visit often. Try Sam's Club, your hairdresser, nail salon, family owned shops and restaurants near your home. (This costs you nothing but can make a huge difference!)



STEP 2: Send donation to the office

A. Fill out a donation form (available in office or download paper form or use the online form)

B. Send your donation with donation form to the ALA office no later than March 8.

C. Class treasurers will tally the total $ of their class’s donations.


CLASS PRIZES: Freshmen vs. Sophomores vs. Juniors vs. Seniors

1st place (the highest $ value of donations): On Student Service Day (March 21) the winning class will have the afternoon OFF from cleaning projects, with free lunch, games, plus ice cream!


2nd place: The class who finishes in second place will receive ice cream on Student Service Day. PLUS you will get to choose your afternoon Student Service Day job. That means you won’t get assigned a job—you get to pick the job you want for the afternoon.


Competition ends: March 8 at noon

* these are ways to help that cost you nothing — except time!
