Previous Event: Party 4 a cause Wine Tasting

Location: Moore Brothers Wine Co.
Date: October 21, 2009
Time: 6PM


We would like to thank Party 4 a cause for producing a wonderful wine tasting event to benefit our school. It was a tremendous success! Four of our 5th Grade students were on hand to represent the school, and the party showcased the students' entries in a digital photography project/competition. Beautiful pictures from several students were featured and raffled at the end of the night.

If you click around this website, you will see many examples of the students' photography.

We also appreciate Moore Brothers Wine Co. for allowing us to use their loft and for donating the terrific wine.

Last, but not least, thank you Neo Sushi. Your generous donation of sushi and gift cards were a wonderful addition to the event.


Congratulations to Tatyana Campbell, who was awarded first place and received her very own digital camera!
