THANK YOU

Hey everyone, it’s Alex Riguero, Direct Appeal Chair, with an important announcement.  WE DID IT!   We raised 200K! 

It was a huge team effort and there are just so many people to thank.  I want to thank our donors (seriously you’re the best) but there were so many additional people who went above and beyond to make this possible: 

• Ms. Ontiveros, for being so transparent with our school’s budget challenges
• The parents who hit the class WhatsApps after Ms. O’s budget presentation and raised 10K in a weekend
• Rachael Morrison and Rachael Garza who’s impassioned plea on behalf of our wonderful little school mobilized tons of parent support
• Sarah Burns and the room reps who kept reminding folks to give with humor and warmth
• The people who gave *multiple times* to reach our goal
• The grandparents who gave so generously
• The PTA Board for their unstinting support and help
• ...and last, but definitely not least, my co-chair John Meehan.  Thanks again for supporting our school!
