  Scholar Dollars

 

Scholar Dollars, Stimulus Plan 2010, was a smashing success thanks to the hard work of our dedicated committee and all our wonderful student and staff volunteers.  All money raised at Scholar Dollars is designated to the financial aid program which supports over 60% of our students.

The Rhode Island Country club set the scene for a beautiful, memorable evening.  Guests were treated to delicious hors d’oeuvres and buffet while enjoying the rhythmic sounds of “General Meeting” - School One’s very own student band.

Thanks to the generosity of donations from our community, local businesses and friends of School One the evening offered a variety of opportunities to support the Scholarship Fund.  There was lively bidding on Silent & Mystery Box& Live auction items, a wine sale, a “Quickie Board” mini-live auction and a restaurant raffle.  Among the highlights of the evening’s offerings were a Photo Safari to Africa, a week at a private home on Nantucket and a “Walk On” role in the next Farrelly Brothers movie!

Delicious treats donated by Emma’s Edibles of Cranston capped off the evening.

Plans are already underway for the next Scholar Dollars event – Thursday, April 14, 2011 at the Rhode Island Country Club.

The committee is being formed and all are welcome and encouraged to volunteer their time or talent or donate an auction item.  Please contact Mufi Sullivan, msullivan@school-one.org or (401) 331- 2497 if you have questions or would like to join the committee. This is a great way to get involved at School One!
