Cornerstone School<br />

Monte Carlo Night<br />

Cornerstone Booster Club hosted its 19th annual<br />

Monte Carlo Night at the Harlyne J. Norris Pavillion.<br />

The theme was A Midwinter Night’s Dream.<br />

Parents, friends and business community members<br />

celebrated and raised funds to benefit the children<br />

of Cornerstone Elementary School. Chairwomen<br />

Gail Dardashti, Janet Feigle, Karen Yamamoto and<br />

numerous volunteers transformed The Pavilion into<br />

a winter wonderland. The entrance was sparkling.<br />

Classically trained parent volunteers set an elegant<br />

tone with live string music. Snow flurries and an<br />

open sleigh photo booth set a playful mood. The ballroom<br />

offered delicious small plates, games of chance<br />

and one-of-a-kind silent auction items. Cornerstone’s<br />

cultural immersion parent team, representing the<br />

Year of Scandinavia, dazzled the audience with a lip<br />

sync performance of Abba’s Waterloo. Principal Jeff<br />

Keeney was unrecognizable as the lead guitarist;<br />

demonstrating, once again, his unwavering support<br />

of Cornerstone. Auctioneer extraordinaire, Dennis<br />

Rizza, inspired fierce competition among friends and<br />

significantly raised bids on auction items. The event<br />

ended with a full dance floor. PTA/Parent Board President<br />

Sandra Wang declared the evening a huge success.<br />
