A Gala Masterpiece!

By Susie Rogers, ELA, 5th-8th

Every year St. James holds its fundraising Gala where we come together with our families, staff, and friends for a night of wonderful food, upbeat music, and one-of-a-kind auction items. Each class contributes an auction item to help raise money for daily operations for the school and teacher salaries. This year my 7th grade class voted to make a spectacular hand-painted wind chime for a lucky someone who has the highest bid! Today we began the process by using sharpies, rubbing alcohol, Q-tips, and droppers. Students chose their favorite colors and blended them to make the perfect colorful disk. There are a couple more steps to complete before the final reveal, so stay tuned!
