evening. Would invite all of the new families parents and some seasoned parents and some teachers. Have
information on what standard activities happen in the different grades. Serve light refreshments. Would like
to have as an annual event
2. Alumni Gala – Irene would like to see an Alumni Gala become an annual summer event. Kaylee said her
school holds an alumni event and suggested calling it a Green and Gold Gala. Invite alumni of the school,
teachers, and alumni’s parents. Bob said they used to have an alumni brunch after church, nothing fancy.
There are 3 current teachers who are alumni of St. Vincent (Mr. Stipp, Mrs. Norman, and Mrs. Knight).

and a bar, send invitations with purchase of tickets required for attendance.
