Successful FIDS Gala.....

The crowd was fabulous, the food delicious and the DJ was awesome...The Reach for the Stars Annual Benefit Gala was a huge success. It is our pleasure to report that the 2011 FIDS Gala grossed $298,000 and netted $249,000. The numbers reflect everyone's hard work.

Thank you for all you have done...the Gala committee members and all of the volunteers and all who attended the event.

The 2011 Chinese New Year was a great achievement....

Thanks to Ms. Suna Lee for all her efforts in making this a memorable day for the FIDS community. 

Our Chinese New Year celebration was also reported in the Miami Herald newspaper.

The school welcomed ambassador, Mr. Jin, who commented, " The FIDS has the best Mandarin Chinese program in all of Miami-Dade county".

THE FUN CONTINUES:

Sunday March 27, the annual FIDS KIDS FISHING EVENT will be held at the Guest Marina on Fisher Island. Once again the Fisher Island Club will partner with the school for this highly anticipated occasion.
This day gives the children an opportunity to have the adventure of fishing in a safe environment. At the same time volunteers will share their knowledge on techniques and  environmental conservation. Children will receive a fishing pole and tackle box.
The school will benefit from the proceeds. We offer different levels of sponsorship for companies or individuals that are interested in participation. Tickets will be sold for $25 per person and will be available in advance for Fisher Island Day School Students. Please contact Kimberly Cacioppo kimberly@islandinsiders.com 786-302-5727 or Coach John Durango  jdurango@fisherislanddayschool.org Participation is encouraged. This is an easy event to help with, and not a large commitment of time!!!
