The Grauer School of Rock Gala: Gratitude!
Thank you to everyone who attended and supported our Grauer School of Rock Gala on Saturday, May 3, at the Belly Up! It was truly a rockin’ evening in support of our Visual & Performing Arts Program.
We would like to extend our sincerest thanks to our Board of Trustees; to our faculty and staff who worked tirelessly to ensure the success of this event; to Kaivan Mohsenzadeh for being our event emcee; and to all of our donors. Special thanks to our incomparable Visual and Performing Arts department teachers for all of their efforts to showcase the work of their students—Isaac Langen and Tom Hopper (Music teachers); Erin Langen (Theatre teacher); Johnny King (Visual Arts teacher); and Dina Treibel (Film and Multimedia teacher). We would also like to send heartfelt thanks to our talented Grauer students, Alumni students, and faculty who performed music and improv theatre together at the Belly Up.
Your support goes far beyond the rockin’ vibes of the evening; your donation will directly support your student's creativity, confidence and collaboration. It is an incredible gift to be a part of a community where the creative spaces that we hold for our students are valued by so many. Your attendance and contributions made this evening an overwhelming success.
