SCM Virtual Gala: A Celebration of Community

 
 
 
 
The SCM Gala is our biennial fundraising event that gives the greater SCM community another avenue to support St. Catherine’s Montessori. This year, in keeping with our established protocols, the gala has gone virtual, which allows guests to enjoy all the evening has to offer from the comfort of their homes.
 
Join us for a livestreamed event where we will celebrate this unique community and honor our shared journey through this truly unexpected year. We promise you great food, drink and entertainment, and some fun glimpses inside the classroom.

Proceeds from SCM Virtual Gala: A Celebration of Community will support our Tuition Assistance program. Taken together with allocations from our operating budget and philanthropic gifts directed specifically to tuition aid, the gala will help us begin to meet the $130,000 assistance need requested by our families for the 2021-2022 school year. 

 

Receiving financial support is sometimes the deciding factor in a family’s ability to remain here at St. Catherine’s, and we do our best to help them stay.

 

 

The livestreamed event will be a celebration of community, during which students, faculty, staff, and alumni will share the best of their St. Catherine’s experience and reflect on how we have navigated the year together. The program will feature lots of footage of students at work and at play, and some fun looks back at SCM history.

 

Alumni parent Nuri Nuri will provide music during the opening “cocktail reception” to help set the mood for the fun to come.

 

Our friends at Phoenicia Specialty Foods have put together a delicious selection of food, dessert, and wine choices from which guests will create their own custom menus. 

 

Gulf Coast Distillers - an SCM family business - has designed two signature cocktail choices for our top underwriter tier and generously donated the spirits.
