The View From Here: Big Night Out

by Janet Durgin, Head of School
I've got my date and I know what I'm going to wear. How about you?
 
Did you see this wonderful little film made by parents Andrew Hathaway, Gayle Slade and a crew of others? Sonoma Academy parents are so creative, committed, and fun. That's what Big Night Out is all about. Fifteen years ago our first fundraising gala was in a parent's barn and I believe the extent of the auction was one large gift basket. The school has come a long way since then! One of the tensions we've tried to manage as we've grown is the appropriate balance between Big Night Out being a night to raise funds and BNO being a night to have a wonderful community party. We try to do it all in a way that serves the school and our students best.

Below you will see a list of the many parents who have helped us this year, as well as links to buy tickets, to view the auction catalogs, a proxy bidding form if you can't make it, and more. If you've never been, please think about coming. It's fun, it's joyful, and anadults-only time to connect with the community. There are still a handful of tickets left, so we hope you'll snatch them up! We so look forward to kicking up our heels and celebrating our great school and community.
