WESTSIDE STORY GALA--FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 5, 2010!



On November 5th, Parent Council is sponsoring a "West Side Story Gala”.   This classic will be performed by South's acclaimed Drama department.  Tickets for this special evening includes a seat for the musical, a student featured art exhibit reception with sparkling drinks before the show, and the after show Gala Party.  Visit ‘NYC’ and its exciting Westside and enjoy savory snacks and sweet desserts, have the opportunity to learn a Jerome Robbins’ style dance, meet the actors, as well as a chance to win wonderful prizes. Invitations will be mailed next week and tickets go on sale at the Parent Council meeting on October 6, 2010.

Since many families and community members traditionally attend the fall musical, this is an excellent opportunity to incorporate a fun and festive fundraiser into an evening of socializing, food, and entertainment.  We hope to sell all 1000 seats in the theater in addition to hundreds of raffle tickets----together we can raise $18,000 in one evening! 
Come and share in this school community social and fundraiser.  Bring your friends and family to this fabulous evening.


To help reach our goal, purchase Raffle Tickets for the many special New York themed packages.  Raffle tickets are $5 per ticket or 6 tickets for $25.  You choose which package to try and win—or spread your tickets around to different packages. Below is a list of the packages that will be in the raffle. Winner need not be present to win.
