International Festival and Garage Sale a Big Success!
A BIG THANK YOU to everyone that made Friday and Saturday so successful! We had a great turnout. We dodged the rain and it wasn't too hot!!! Thank you for helping set up, pick up and run the booths.
Thank you if you participated in the very successful International Festival. Marianne van Arkel-Priest and Mr. Mueller did a great job organizing a terrific addition to our day. We had 18 countries represented during both days: Guam, Kenya, Turkey, Spain, Austria, France, Great Britain, Italy, Senegal, Lebanon, Uruguay, India, Argentina, Netherlands, Poland, South Africa, El Salvador and Germany - each with beautiful and very informative displays. A special thank you to all student ambassadors that were involved with the presentations and booths.
The Raffle Baskets were a big hit as usual. A big thank you to Rachel Schipul for organizing that and to all the grade level reps for rallying your grades to participate! They always come through in the end.
Janet Balke and Carrie Alexander were our Garage Sale specialists, again this year, along with Angeles Martinez (advertising) and Lynn McMullin (12th grade rep on site). They worked together to make the Sale run smoothly. Good Work!!!
Of course, we couldn't have done it without the help from behind the scenes...Dr. Blasingame, Mr. Gonzalez, Ms. Ana, Ms. Amanda and (I think we all agree) most importantly, Ms. Debbie and her crew.
We can all be proud that the WAIS community came together on our campus for a fun, informative and successful day that all our guests enjoyed.
Thank you again WAIS and it's great PTA volunteers!
