You students are the most important people we are celebrating today for all of your help during our benefit. We know we surpassed this year with ticket sales and everything about our benefit. We raised a lot more money than we ever have in the past, and it is in large part through all your efforts and all your parents’ efforts. Congratulations on a wonderful job. As a result of raising the most money, the seventh grade class challenged the staff and faculty to a volley ball game following the assembly. The game ended in a tie.
