St. Edmund’s Nursery School families came together recently for the school’s annual Parent Party and auction. Taking a cue from the date of the event, a fiesta theme was in order to celebrate Cinco de Mayo, and chair Wendy Watson set the stage for an evening of good food, good friends and fundraising. Auction co-chairs Melissa Boozell and Kacy Tozzi secured exciting items for guests to bid on, including a seven-night stay in Aspen, a weekend vacation on Catalina Island and tickets to “Hamilton.”
The party not only raised money for the school but was an opportunity to celebrate St. Edmund’s beloved Head of School Darlene Porter, who is retiring after 24 years. Current board chair Shigemi Pang and former board chair Lisa Cloud delivered a touching tribute to Darlene and presented her with a book filled with a collection of memories provided by current and past students, teachers and parents.
