SRLA in 1980s Glory

Last Friday, SRLA was buzzing with 80s spirit! During the day, students in 1st, 3rd, 5th, and 8th grades rocked their 80s Dress Down Day thanks to reaching over 50% participation in Wish ticket sales—and 5th grade enjoyed their well-earned cupcake party!

 

That evening, parents gathered for a fun night of dancing, bidding on incredible prizes, and celebrating our amazing school community. A big congratulations to our Prom Queen and King, Mary and Peter Uzzolino!

 

Thank you to the entire Wish Upon a Star Committee and the HSA for bringing the night to life with creativity, dedication, and a whole lot of heart. And thank you to each and every community member who attended, sponsored the event, and donated to the auction. It was a night to remember and we couldn't have done it without you!
