Open House:
Kari kicked off the meeting with a shout out to the amazing Open House held last week!
MM : really happy with the event - programming was perfect , its was well executed, well a well attended. :)
Follow up from event :
Need to follow up with folks who were in attendance. Also need to reach out to those who were not able to attend, getting them into the school (esp. foundation and elected officials ).
Emma updated that the guest book survey will go out at 12:30 today. Will include a thank you message with link to the news video etc. David suggested adding a donate link as well! Will similarly include this same info in the newsletter that will go out . Kari suggested Modesto to send a personal note to those "important" guests who attended Open House.
Other 2025 Events :
David questioned the graduation ceremony ... invite larger donors? Committed agreed this should happen. Need to send invite/save the date to these invitees.
Also need to highlight senior signing day (May 28th) !
David updated the group on grants recently received:
Davis : Post Secondary Alumni Support , Also an unsolicited grant of 50k received! Other grants submitted should hear from soon.
Spring appeal! Will highlight graduation class & need for financial aid support for college
MM working out the details for 3 Scholarships :
1. Valedictorian

Kari closed with her push for Friendraising. Get people into the beautiful new school for tours!
