Thank you to everyone who came out to Saturday’s EVCS ¡Fiesta de Cinco de Mayo!
We raised over $13,000 for our children’s enrichment programs and we had a heck of a good time doing it!
The depth and generosity of parent engagement is what puts the “community” in EVCS and there is a long list of people to thank!
- Thank you to the more than 150 parents, faculty and staff who showed up to support our school and celebrate in style!
- Thank you to the dozens of folks who solicited and/or donated so many deluxe items, making this year’s silent auction a near contact sport!
- Thank you to Randi and Martin Mitev who made it possible for us to be in such an elegant and spacious location!
- Thank you to Julia Melillo for the eye-catching invitations!
- Thank you to Beatrice Dupire and Tazeen Khan for transforming the space into a Mexican ¡Fiesta! wonderland!
- Thank you to Tony Everett whose masterful DJ skills set the perfect mood and helped us bailar toda la noche!
- Thank you to Maria Rosenblum who plied the masses with margaritas for many hours!
- Thank you to James and Ron Bromberg for donating the thirst-quenching beer, and hauling it all the way from Brooklyn, too!
- Thank you to Mary Talbot for more than we could ever say — but for now, we thank her for organizing and overseeing the silent auction with precision and panache!
- Thank you to our indefatigable PA president Martha Kessler for overseeing (and setting up, and serving, and breaking down!) the scrumptious Mexican dinner!
- Thank you to the other members of Parent Association Executive Committee who supported the effort in innumerable ways, with a special shout out to Jeremy Sherber for making sure our many email blasts found their way to you quickly and accurately! (You’re very welcome … and thank you! -Js.)
- Thank you to Hunter Kariher for his uncannily cheerful willingness to do just about anything we asked – far too much than we could list!
- Thank you to the anonymous band of hyper-talented Pre-K parents who supplied a bountiful table of desserts!
- Thank you to Alfonso Mogaburo Cid,Tami Essen, Luis Guzman, Teresa Seemann,Virsile Nedd, Eddie Fitzgerald, Nadine Harstein, Tricia McGuire, and Ned Eisenberg, as well as numerous others who helped set-up or clean-up or pitched in with a hand here and there as the party raged on.
- Thank you to everyone whom we, in our post-fiesta delirium, are forgetting to thank!
We are grateful to be part of such a dynamic and soulful community of families and educators! The glory of our alliance was on full display Saturday night and all that’s left to say is ¡Viva EVCS!
Love,
