Cornerstone School – Monte Carlo Night
Cornerstone Booster Club hosted its 19th annual Monte Carlo Night at the Harlyne J. Norris Pavilion. The theme was A Midwinter Night’s Dream. Parents, friends and business community members celebrated and raised funds to benefit the children of Cornerstone Elementary School. Chairwomen Gail Dardashti, Janet Feigle, Karen Yamamoto and numerous volunteers transformed The Pavilion into a winter wonderland. The entrance was sparkling. Classically trained parent volunteers set an elegant tone with live string music. Snow flurries and an open sleigh photo booth set a playful mood. The ballroom offered delicious small plates, games of chance and one-of-a-kind silent auction items. Cornerstone’s cultural immersion parent team, representing the Year of Scandinavia, dazzled the audience with a lip sync performance of Abba’s Waterloo. Principal Jeff Keeney was unrecognizable as the lead guitarist; demonstrating, once again, his unwavering support of Cornerstone. Auctioneer extraordinaire, Dennis Rizza, inspired fierce competition among friends and significantly raised bids on auction items. The event ended with a full dance floor. PTA/Parent Board President Sandra Wang declared the evening a huge success.
