Weekly Miracle Makers
Oftentimes it feels like our school is powered by Miracles. Miracles large and small happen each week to pull off all that we do here. Those miracles appear in acts of love and kindness and service by parents, children, staff, alumni, community members, and more, and each week we highlight a special one here.
This week’s Miracle Maker is Cagney Stein, who organized and executed a wonderful pop-up fundraiser at Vino’s Wine Bar on Duval Street as a 5K Sponsorship Donation! The event raised over $600 for our Scholarship Fund and an additional $300 for the Gumbo Limbo classroom, and hosted a fun evening for those in attendance. Thank you, Cagney, for using your superpowers to benefit our school and our students!
