By Salima Rasul and Careena Sharma, Spring Fest Chairs
Thank you to everyone who made our inaugural Spring Fest such a success! We had an incredible turnout at the campus event last Saturday, when we welcomed over 1,200 WPGA families, alumni and grandparents.
We sincerely thank our Spring Fest sponsors: Ampri Group, the Chung Family, Gaetz Family, Lundin Family, CoCo Auto Group, Orthodontic Faculty Associates, Ali Group Real Estate, True Love Forever, and Trust Auto Group, as well as our many donors. This event would not have been possible without your support.
We also thank our wonderful volunteers. From the booth management team and booth leads, Children’s Gallery and design team, and food truck lead to everyone in between, your time, energy and effort did not go unnoticed. We are in awe of your dedication to the school community.
Thank you to all those who donated or took part in our Spring Fest auction, which raised $87,548 for WPGA summer improvement projects. Spring Fest volunteers have started reaching out to auction winners with information on how to collect items, so expect an email from the team by the end of next week. Receipts for eligible donations will be processed by the end of this school year. If you have any questions about your donation, click

Additionally, the raffle raised $45,000! Proceeds will support student learning and cocurricular resources over the next 12 months. Congratulations to Amanda Lau, who won the $25K tuition credit, and Salima Rasul who won the VIP parking spot.
Finally, we loved the enthusiasm of Spring Fest children's raffle, with kids collecting and showing off their stamps at the event! Congratulations to the raffle winners:
1. Leonor from 5CH
2. Apollo from KCL
3. Rebecca from 7KO
4. Chase from 6CM
5. Stephan from 1ED
In total, Spring Fest generated over $200,000! Although we will return to the Gala next year, we hope to make Spring Fest a WPGA tradition, and thank everyone who helped to make this family-centered event such a success.
