Gala Invites

It has come to the attention of the Gala Committee that some families did not receive their Gala invitation home in their child’s folder or the RSVP card was missing from the envelope.  If this is the case, there are extra invitations available in the Main Office.  Please drop by to pick one up or call to have one sent home with your child.  If you have any questions regarding the Gala, please contact the Gala Chair, Paul Munns, at 860.214.4249 or PaulRMunns@yahoo.com
