EB Gala Chic, Alors

Our first in-person gala since 2019, Chic, Alors ! event was a hit among our parents, alumni parents, faculty, staff and friends of EB. The evening was hosted by EB parent Aaron Ross and EB alumni parent Pierre-François Choquet on April 30, 2022. Through the live auction, silent auction and cocktail games, the community generously contributed $72,800, including $32,950 for the Fund for the Future, in support of diverse educational experiential learning programs for our EB students.

Thank you to our wonderful Gala lead team, Stéphanie Ross, Cécile Cottus, Katie Crepeau, and Lynn Bentley, for their amazing efforts in putting on a spectacular soirée, our first community fundraising event back in person! They worked tirelessly to secure auction lots, select the theme, design the imagery, decorating, and so much more! Merci !

FUND FOR THE FUTURE: EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING

Our Fund for the Future is a unique part of the Gala & Auction Spring fundraiser every year. Last year’s Fund for the Future focused on equitable experiential learning for every EB student, regardless of circumstance. The community generously contributed $32,950 for our students! At EB, we believe that, like students, learning comes in many different forms. Every interaction and space our kids occupy provides an opportunity for learning. While the classroom remains the core of the educational experience for an EB student, experiential learning or “learning by doing” vastly enriches their journey by engaging students in hands-on experiences and reflection, opening them up to the diverse and interconnected world around them.

Through this fund, students will venture into the world to see art, learn about science, explore nature, experience theater, and much more. To date, our students have: • Discovered science experiments designed by Mad Science and the LHS • Explored the Redwoods in Occidental and Medocino • Visited the Chabot Space and Science Center • Welcomed comic book authors for Le Festival de la BD
