Thank you to all who attended or were able to support the fundraising efforts of the JQES 176th Anniversary Celebration where all proceeds directly support enrichment programs for our 740+ students. The goal was to raise $150,000 and we are currently at about $120,000. Donations support programs like Art Resource Collaborative for Kids (ARCK), PlayWorks, Science from Scientists, Urban Improv: Rehearsal for Life, and many field trips throughout Boston. More information about our school and fundraising efforts can be found at www.supportjqes.org. Additionally, here is the banquet program and pictures from the event. (Photobooth pictures are not included in this album, but can be sent digitally upon request.)
Thank you and together we WILL do great things!
