Fourth Graders blew everyone's socks off last night at the MWJDS Gala 2013. They looked so mature in their Sunday best. They were perfect gentlemen and gentlewomen! At the party, fourth graders' duties included: greeting Gala guests at the entrance, checking guests' coats, and selling "tickets" (shiny red beaded necklaces) for the raffle, which took place toward the end of the evening. Tamar students took their jobs seriously. They took them so seriously, in fact, that they raised... wait for it... an astounding $1,340 in raffle tickets!
During the "boring" part of the night (the speeches), fourth graders had their own "kids room" where they watched a movie, chatted and had dessert. It was a great bonding experience for the group. It was also a nice way for Tamar students to give back to the school that does so much for them every day! Here are the highlights of the night in the students' own words:
Sam said, "The Gala was lots of fun and I learned a lot about MWJDS, like the fact that a lot of supporters care about our school."
Hadass said, "My favorite part of the Gala was being able to hang out with my friends and help my school."
Avia said, "I'm glad that there are a lot more supporters for our school than I thought. Also, the dessert was delicious."
Meg said, "The dessert was awesome. And there were lots and lots of supporters that really wanted to buy raffle tickets."
Bryce said, "My favorite part of the night was raising $1,340 for MWJDS."
