I would like to leave the memory of a human being with a correct attutude and who did her best to help others." -Grace Kelly We can’t believe after months and months of planning that we are finally here. We started this journey with an open mind, wanting to create a magical evening that brought out the best in all of us. We challenged ourselves to try something completely different to celebrate our Curtis community: a new venue, new location and new theme. Yet all along we worked to stay true to the core values of our community. We wanted this to be an opportunity for YOU to relax, have fun, dress up, eat, drink, listen to music, and truly bond with each other. All of this, while raising money for something so close to our hearts, the Curtis School Financial Aid Fund. So here we are! We hope that you are as excited for this night as we are. Get ready to come “Dressed to Kill” as we are transported to the Petersen Automotive Museum for a Monte-Carlo night to remember. As you can imagine, none of this could have happened without all of the support from the parents, administration, faculty, staff, and friends of Curtis. It is because of this amazing community we know tonight will be a huge success. With gratitude, Joann Alexander Jennie Kim Carolyn Trattner 4 AUCTION THANK YOU THANK YOU to all the amazing Curtis Families and Friends who helped make this year’s Curtis Celebrates!
