Cupertino Carnival 2011 Thank You

Tuesday, October 4th, 2011

After all of the preparation, meetings, announcements, emails, flyers, conversations, and planning, we can now unequivocally state that CARNIVAL 2011 was a huge success. This is our eighth year, and we have learned so much. We felt that last year we cleared a hurdle and were now on the path to continued success with this huge event. That analysis proved correct. This year’s Carnival was even more successful than last year’s, and of course, last year’s was the best ever up to that point. What a great testament to our amazing community. I thank each of you from the bottom of my heart. One of our goals this year was to draw in bigger crowds, including those from our larger community. That happened, and it was so good to see people we recognized and people we did not recognize enjoying these wonderful Carnival days, and learning about the fantastic community spirit here at SJC.

Join us at 10:30 a.m. on the last day of the carnival, October 2nd, for a continental breakfast at the Parish Community Center. Meet up with former classmates, and speak to former teachers. Just send an email to development@sjcschool.org or call the school office, (408)252-6441, and let us know how many of you are coming. After the breakfast, you can visit more of the current faculty as they staff the silent auction in the Parish Hall. Stick around for the afternoon and watch the SJC staff sing karaoke on the Main Stage. Bring your family and friends and check out your old haunts. We’re even including a special carnival coupon in our Alumni newsletter. If you did not get the newsletter, please let us know your current contact information via our alumni page.
