Dear School Community,

We would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to all of you for making our Saint Gabriel 10th Anniversary Fun Night and Dance an incredible success. This event truly exemplified the spirit of our school community, bringing together parents, staff, volunteers, and students from both elementary and high school levels.

First and foremost, a big thank you to all the parents and staff who generously donated cakes for the cake walk, candy for candies on a stick, and contributed to the face painting activities. Your support and contributions added so much joy to the evening.

We would also like to express our appreciation to the dedicated staff, parent volunteers, and student volunteers who worked tirelessly throughout the event. Whether it was distributing pizza, assisting at the cake walk and face painting stations, managing the front doors, or distributing candy, your enthusiasm and commitment were truly commendable.

The display boards in the Learning Commons, highlighting our remarkable 10th school year as portrayed by every classroom, served as a testament to our shared accomplishments. Each board eloquently captured the essence of our journey throughout the year.

It was also heartwarming to see returning Wings, including former students, our first school principal Cheryl Casselman, and past teachers, joining us to celebrate this milestone. Your presence added a nostalgic touch to the festivities, reminding us of our strong community bonds.

With over 750 students and parents participating in the Fun Night and dance, and more than 170 hot, delicious large-sized pizzas served with water, it was truly a night to remember.

Special thanks are extended to Karen Applebee, our school council chair, for orchestrating and guiding the event with the invaluable support of the School Council and staff. Your leadership and dedication ensured the evening was a resounding success.

We also express our appreciation to Mark Heinemann, our DJ and returning parent, for curating music spanning multiple decades. Mark also spun tunes at our 10th-year Dance-a-thon, where students enjoyed dancing to nostalgic hits.

Our sincere gratitude goes to Karen and the parent council for their steadfast support of both our Fun Night and School Dance-a-thon, held consecutively days. Your commitment and assistance made these events truly memorable and enjoyable for our school community.

Our school community has grown significantly since 2014, doubling in size, yet our spirit of unity and support remains stronger than ever. Together, we have made the last 10 years truly amazing. As we reflect on this milestone, we look forward to the future with anticipation and excitement. What new adventures and achievements await us?

Once again, thank you all for your continued support and dedication. Here’s to many more years of success and togetherness.

Warm regards,

P. Bruni and N. Montes

Principal and Vice Principal
