Memories Made in Monte Carlo!
It was a joy seeing our community come together last Saturday for the annual Embers Extravaganza! Our Night in Monte Carlo was full of laughter and friendship; memories from this great year and the promise of a bright future. With the combined efforts of those who supported the Extravaganza both online and in-person, we were able to raise over $285,000! Thank you to everyone who supported Embers during this fundraiser.

Immersive Science at Embers
Our Sparks had a thrilling day last Friday during Professor Habib’s immersive Science Day! Prof. Habib demonstrated the “super powers” of handwashing, dry ice, chemical reactions, and more. Cheers, squeals, and chants rang throughout the halls as our Sparks relished the world of science! Thank you to Professor Habib (and your wonderful assistant Tanya) for so generously donating your time, talent, and treasure to provide this experience for our students!
