EOY Party Sees Big Turnout

There was something for everyone at the second edition of our end-of-year party, held on the sunny and humid evening of Friday, June 2nd.

A celebration of the class of 2023 kicked things off.

Parents, families, and school employees crowded into seats under a large tent, as seven graduates walked up, one at a time, to a small stage to receive their diplomas.

Each graduate walked up while a song of their choice played on the speakers. From Queen to One Direction to Post Malone, the eclectic artists reflected the unique and gleaming personalities of each student.

Following this, more students, families, alumni, and staff members began rolling in for the second act of the party.

Guests were treated to hot dogs and chicken sandwiches from Ida’s Catering, and able to purchase items from an ice cream truck.

Entertainment included an acoustic performance from Robbie Clark, a Toledo School for Arts alum, and animals from Paige’s Pony Parties & Petting Farm.

Despite the unseasonably warm conditions, the end-of-year party was a hit, with an estimated 150 in attendance.

All of this fun was made available at no cost thanks to the generous support of the Elsie and Harry Baumker Foundation.

The school’s leadership team is grateful to all who made the year a shining success…2023-2024 here we come!

An Enchanted Evening

It was mid-March 2020. Tickets were printed, decorations were crafted, and excitement was building for Enchanted Lands, our 10th annual community prom.

Then came a national health crisis followed by school closures.

Our prom, like so many special events in those days, was put on pause.

On Thursday, April 6th, 2023, the magic returned when we held the Enchantment Under the Sea Dance.

Over 130 guests–including students, alumni, and families–packed into St. Clement Hall for tasty treats, photos, dancing, and good old fashioned fun.

We are deeply grateful to the staff members who volunteered countless hours to make prom the unforgettable experience that it was.

And so many sponsors and vendors stepped up to make sure everyone could enjoy a quality event at a super low cost.

The smiles on the faces of students tells us brighter days are ahead!
