WELCOME TO THOSE WHO JUST ”WANNA HAVE FUN!” This evening promises to be rad, totally tubular, fantabulous – to borrow a few of the slang terms of the 80’s and get you into the mood. We’re delighted that you are able to join us for this celebration of Ramona – and especially our nationally recognized STEM faculty.

While the online auction allows many of our alumnae and friends to participate and support Ramona virtually, it is wonderful that so many of us are able to gather in person. In addition, there are some items that are only available to those of you who are here this evening – therefore your odds of winning are better.

Remember that all proceeds from tonight directly benefit our current students – scholars, athletes, artists, actresses, engineers, musicians. The wonderful young women enrolled at Ramona now give us so much hope for the future…and your support helps to make their dreams (and ours) a reality.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR PARTICIPATION, HAVE FUN, SPEND LAVISHLY AND MAKE THIS EVENING EPIC!!!

SUPPORT OUR SCHOLARS Ramona’s “Support Our Scholars” campaign, held during our Auction & Gala, raises essential funds for the Ramona Scholarship Fund—making a life-changing education accessible to deserving young women, regardless of financial circumstances.

Scholarships truly change lives—and those lives go on to change the world.

This year, Ramona is proud to be recognized as a STEM School of Excellence by the International Technology and Engineering Educators Association, a distinction that reflects our commitment to innovative, future-focused learning.

Since our founding, the Sisters of the Holy Names have been dedicated to educating young women with promise and purpose. Your support continues that mission today.

RAMONA IS A 2025-2026 STEM SCHOOL OF EXCELLENCE! There is always a reason to celebrate at Ramona! Our students shine in academics, athletics, and service; our faculty are truly one of a kind; and our alumnae continue to do amazing things in every field imaginable.

This year, however, we have even more cause for celebration—Ramona Convent has been named a STEM School of Excellence by ITEEA. This prestigious distinction honors schools and universities that demonstrate an exceptional commitment to delivering a dynamic, integrative STEM education program and are truly making waves in their field.

Ramona is the only school in California—and one of just three all-girls schools—among the 44 elementary schools, high schools, and universities recognized as a 2025–2026 STEM School of Excellence.

According to ITEEA, “This recognition is a testament to the dedication and innovation of educators, administrators, and stakeholders who strive to deliver meaningful Technology, Engineering, and STEM education to their students, harnessing the forces advancing technology, engineering, and STEM learning.

Schools receiving the award have undergone a rigorous application process, showcasing their exemplary STEM programs and best practices. The recognition not only highlights their achievements but also serves as an inspiration for other institutions to enhance their own STEM education initiatives as the tides shift in modern pedagogy.”

At this year’s Auction & Gala, we will raise a glass to the outstanding STEM educators—past and present—who have helped build Ramona’s exceptional reputation. We are especially proud to celebrate our current STEM faculty: Aulikki Flagan, Angelica Seager, Mike Ambrose, Channel Rich, Judy Lee, Zhanna Makhyan, Karl Talmo, and Coral Green whose dedication and innovation continue to inspire the next generation of women in STEM.

A SPECIAL THANK YOU TO OUR SPONSORS, DONORS, & ADVERTISERS We are grateful to all of those who supported this event either through donations of items or cash.

The Auction & Gala is truly a joint venture bringing together alumnae, current & past parents, friends, and local businesses in our community to raise funds for the students of Ramona Convent.

We invite you to show your appreciation by patronizing our generous auction sponsors.

Thank you again for supporting Ramona Convent, we couldn't do it without you!
