2010 Annual Spring Gala “Lives of Legacy”

We've turned 10 years old and only just begun, and the 2010 STM Spring Gala "Lives of Legacy" Ten Year Anniversary Celebration will be a night remembered by all who watched this memorable night unfold. The evening began with a private reception for the STM Founding Fathers, alumni and alumni parents who started it all — the Classes of 2003-2005. Lots of excitement filled the cafetorium as guests raised their bids on the silent auction items and took chances on winning one of the GREAT raffle items — the scooter being the favorite! Our talented students, under the direction of Nick Stefanic and Amy Stoch, performed a clever musical review and received a standing ovation for their Broadway-like performance
