Dear Athena Community and Athena Supporters,
Wow! Casino Night 2025 was a HUGE success! What a great time! Thank you so much to those of you who joined us on the dance floor to the tunes of Royal Velvetee; purchased awesome items from the silent auction; tried your luck at the casino tables; chatted with friends at the bar; and enjoyed dinner by Lucy’s Fried Chicken! I hope that you had a good time and maybe even made new friends!
THANK YOU to our incredible Events Committee; to those of you who donated or secured items for our fabulous silent auction; to the members of our community who secured donations in-kind for the event; to those of you who bought tickets to the event for yourselves or our teachers; to everyone who sponsored a Casino Table or made a cash donation; to the volunteers who helped set up, break down, and run the ticket tables at the event; our amazing admin team for all their hard work; and our teacher volunteers who helped set up and break down, and shared their spaces. We would not have been able to have such a successful event without each and every one of you. Please take a moment and scroll down to see our list of generous supporters. Please support our donors by clicking on their logo to visit their websites!
We set a fundraising record for Athena! You helped us raise $41,756.75, after expenses, for school safety and security! This year’s proceeds will go directly to pay for our school’s safety and security measures, equipment, and training. You can read more about our fundraising initiative here. If you placed a winning bid, you will receive an email from Jessica this week with instructions for collecting your items! 
Mark your calendars for our final event of the year, Owl Fest! Bring your picnic baskets, blankets, camping chairs, lawn games, and family to our end-of-year celebration on the Athena lawn on the morning of Saturday, May 17, from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.
Please let us know if you are interested in helping with next year’s event and/or if you have any questions, feedback, or suggestions for us. We value your input. Thank you for your support and for choosing to be a part of our special community!
In gratitude,
Lisl

“I couldn’t have asked for a better start to my son’s education. The loving guides at Athena taught him so much more than reading and writing– he’s learned how to take care of himself and those around him while navigating the social community of his classroom. I feel these life skills will serve him well as he graduates and enters first grade in the fall!”
- Rebecca O’Hara (Child now attending Eanes Elementary)
