I'd like to express gratitude to all our Academy
families who participated in Country Fair.
A huge thanks to our good and gracious God who
gifted us with a beautiful day... to all of our sponsors for their
generous financial contributions... to Chairs Tom and Bette Kasper and
Co-Chairs John and Melissa Gisi for their leadership and guidance... to
all the chairs of committees for their generous contribution of time and
talent... to all the parents who worked in a booth, without whose
contribution the day would not have been possible... to all of our
donors for their contributions, big and small, from raffle sales to grab
bag donations.
It was a beautiful day! The spirit of community,
friendship, camaraderie and family filled the day with that special
Academy warmth, from the first step of our early 5K race to the final
sweep of the gym floor after everything had been put away for next year!
Hopefully each of you had an opportunity to get to
know other Academy families, and relished the time with friends.
