A Big Night In

By Kimberly Eber, Director of Advancement
Last year, at this time, we were putting the finishing touches on what was to be another legendary Big Night Out. The theme last year was “out of this world” and our cadre of dedicated parents had gone all out in putting together a spectacular evening--complete with otherworldly decor and delicious food and wine. It’s hard to believe that less than a week after last year’s Big Night Out, we closed our campus as a result of the county Shelter in Place orders. Now, for many of us, a Big Night Out is a trip to the grocery store. But that legendary BNO team has come through yet again, envisioning a way that we can all celebrate together in support of our school (from the comfort of our own homes!) 

Big Night In on Saturday, April 24 will give us all a much-needed opportunity to laugh, connect, and raise money for our school. Even though we can’t all gather together in person, that doesn’t mean we can’t have fun and revel in the amazing work of our teachers and students. There will be performances, surprises, and hilarity—stay tuned for more details soon. 

The funds raised through Big Night In will support the salaries of our amazing teachers, faculty professional development, in-classroom technology such as Neat Bars and other technology that will outfit our classrooms for the years ahead.

We may not be noshing on fine cuisine or cutting a rug in the transformed gym together. But as the plans take shape, we know that this evening will generate the same feelings of community, generosity, and SA spirit that has always been the hallmark of Big Night Out. We are so excited to celebrate with you all!
