The school extends its sincere thanks to all who supported the event as committee chairs, volunteers, sponsors, Fleur de Lis members, underwriters, silent auction and raffle donors, bidders, and event participants.

What does it mean?
Fleur de Lis
Fleur de Lis recognizes Gala & Auction supporters of $1,000 or more and is a critical factor in the event’s and school’s financial success. Fleur de Lis donors are philanthropic leaders who demonstrate significant and inspirational commitment to our ACS community. In recent years, FDL contributors consistently contributed more than $100,000 annually. There are several benefits to joining Fleur de Lis including special recognition in the printed Auction program and invitation to Dr. Montgomery’s Head of School Reception.
Class Baskets
School families are asked to donate $25 per student toward their child(ren)’s class basket. These funds are combined per group to create amazing raffle prizes for our students! As a surprise (shh!), every student will receive one ticket to enter the raffle of their choice.
Party Boutiques
Party Boutiques are small parties hosted by generous parent donors. Tickets to these parties are available for purchase on the Gala & Auction website and are available on a first-come, first-serve basis until the event is sold out. A variety of experiences are offered, and most party boutiques are geared toward adult participation. Occasional opportunities are offered to students and families. Watch for the Party Boutiques coming soon!
