BASH success praise-worthy

On behalf of St. Joseph High School's Building A Scholastic Heritage program, we would like to thank our community for the outstanding support we received for our 23rd Annual auction in March.

BASH 2008, “Night At The Opera,” was a huge success. BASH was proudly sponsored by Byars Thompson Buchanan Insurance & Financial Services and Union Bank of California.

To our sponsors, we offer many thanks for their support. Our awesome and steadfast BASH executive board, Sharee Ventura, Jenny Winters, Stacy Verbryke and Julie Carr are the team we rely on. Additional thanks go to our many parents serving on various committees, without whom we could not accomplish so very much.

We thank this generous community for its donations of goods and services auctioned, as well as donations toward the production itself.

To our guests who attended BASH, you have demonstrated your awesome support for St. Joseph High School with every bid you made.

The BASH event will assist St. Joseph High School in its continuing mission of bringing a values-based Christian education to our students. We are a small school whose size promotes the development of a caring, family environment, where success is the expectation for all who attend. We maintain high academic standards and a strong college preparatory curriculum with a track record of success. St. Joseph High School strives to develop the whole person through athletics, clubs, curriculum and service activities, educational and personal counseling, and tutoring.

We thank this giving community for continuing to support our mission at St. Joseph High School.
