Science & Arts Academy - Into the Blue Gala 2017 1 | Page 3

Dear Friends of Science & Arts Academy,
I am delighted to welcome you to Into the Blue, SAA’ s annual gala. Tonight, we come together to enthusiastically support our school, with amazing items to bid on and exclusive experiences for you to win.
As SAA approaches its 25th anniversary year, this special event is critical to help ensure that SAA students are provided the best educational experience possible for many years to come.
Putting on an event of this magnitude requires an outstanding team of dedicated parent volunteers and staff members. What you experience tonight is the result of months of planning, and I am grateful to everyone who has played a part in making Into the Blue extraordinary, especially co-chairs Kelly Horvath and Kelly Mulcahy-Libel.
Into the Blue is truly a school community endeavor, with countless people donating items and unique experiences. Our Circle of Blue was instrumental in reaching out to their contacts on SAA’ s behalf, resulting in a host of oneof-a-kind opportunities for auction. I extend special thanks to each of our donors, sponsors, and advertisers for their generous support of Science & Arts Academy.
Tonight, we also have the opportunity to recognize our Blue Horizon Award honoree, Mark Anderson. Mark’ s contributions to SAA are innumerable, and he has shared his time, talent, and treasure with the school for the past twenty years.
On behalf of the students, faculty, and staff of Science & Arts Academy, I thank you for being part of Into the Blue. Here’ s to a wonderful evening in support of our school.
Tim Costello Head of School
