Making a Difference
Also known as "Raise the Paddle" or "Fund a Need," Making a Difference is an annual initiative held during the live auction, where donations directly fund a specific area of need within our school community . This year’s focus will be announced ahead of the STARS Gala with the opportunity to contribute whether or not you plan to attend the Gala.
In past years, Making a Difference has funded priorities such as mental health programming and support for students, safety enhancements for the schoolhouse, dynamic sound and lighting in our gymnasium for all-school use, tuition assistance, support for our grades 9-12 special education program, and resources to attract, hire, train and retain exceptional educators.
