Sunset Elementary School Gala
SEED celebrated Sunset Elementary School’s 150th anniversary in 2011 with a special gala event at the JW Marriott Hotel on Brickell Avenue for a night of cocktails, dinner and dancing as well as a silent auction.
The event, which was held April 9th, raised $72,000. Of these funds, $38,000 paid for Smart Boards for all of the second grade classrooms; $15,000 were awarded to nine Sunset teachers as mini-grants for programs impacting students in all grades and programs; and $16,000 were allocated to upgrade technology
Miami Herald humorist and parent of a then-Sunset student, Dave Barry, was the special guest, and the night’s hostess was WSVN Channel 7 anchor Diana Diaz.
The Gala chairs were: Christie Wolfe, Rosa Fernandez and Janette Diaz.
