ABOUT THE GALA:
The Valley Catholic School Gala is a whole campus fundraiser benefiting K-12 education.  Each year we look forward to bringing our extensive community together for Valley Catholic School education. Families, alumni and friends of Valley Catholic School are all invited to attend the Gala and Auction on November 14 at NW Events & Environments. Visit the registration page for full details.

Over the coming months, there are many ways to participate. Find a way that best fits your family by visiting the sponsor, volunteer and various donation pages. If you can not attend the Gala, don't forget to pre-register for the online auction. Information on how your student's class or school is participating will be shared via school newsletters. The popular Middle School Night of Adventure is back! Stay tuned.

Ways the Gala benefits our school:

• Supports school budgets and operations, ensuring a strong and stable school year
• Keeps tuition rates lower than the true cost of education  
• Helps fund programs for music, theatre, art, library, STEM, athletics, faith and stewardship
• Aids tuition assistance through our Light-A-Fire appeal
• Supports efforts to maintain and secure our scenic 43 acre campus and facilities

Behind this Year's Artwork & Theme: "Celebrate the Journey"

"Personally I really enjoy taking long exposure photos, which ended in the capturing of this photo. While abstract, I think that the light itself and the path it takes represents the light and direction that Valley has given me. Everyday at Valley has a different curve or twist to it, leaving us to find our own paths, and the light represents the underlying foundation of the Sisters and teachers who help light our ways." ~ Elijah Schaal '26, winner of the 2026 Gala Poster Competition
