Recap and Gratitude from Las Vegas Night

Another fabulous VIMSIA Las Vegas Night has come and gone. It took many people who lent their time, energy, muscle, influence, talent and boundless enthusiasm to make Saturday's fundraiser a huge success for our school. View gorgeous photos from the evening HERE and HERE, courtesy of photographers Kody Zenger and Tonia Garnett.

The funds raised, thanks to the generosity of our community, will directly impact subsidizing the difference between what we charge in tuition and what it really costs to educate our kids, allowing us to have a pool of financial aid, which makes attending VIMSIA affordable to over 70% of our families, and keeping our student population diverse!
