You are cordially invited to The Village School's Annual Gala, scheduled for April 25th at Beckendorff Farms in Katy!

Adults-Only Celebration

The Gala is a dazzling and festive gathering that unites the community while supporting the school’s vital student enrichment programs.

Fun Atmosphere

This year's theme, Boots & Bling, promises a spectacular evening! Enjoy dancing, entertainment, an open bar, silent and live auctions, and a sumptuous dinner. This year, we are doing buffet style with meat carving stations and, of course, vegetarian stations too.

Programs & Goals

Last year’s gala supported the Athletics Program, providing essential funding for new equipment and travel tournament support for student-athletes.​ This year’s gala is dedicated to directly supporting our Fine Arts, Speech and Debate, and STEM programs (including Robotics and Computer Science). Our ambitious goal is to meet or surpass last year’s gross of $146,000, which was the highest ever raised and nearly three times the amount of the previous year! The proceeds fund necessary equipment, specialized resources, and crucial experiences that fall outside the school's operating budget. Your support is vital, as it allows us to elevate student opportunities while easing the financial burden on our families, allowing all students to participate in activities they are passionate about. 

• Fine Arts: Funding for new equipment and resources for all disciplines within Fine Arts, along with specialized tournaments and enriching workshops.

• Speech and Debate: Covering tournament-related costs, additional coaching sessions, and resources.

• STEM Programs: Funding for tools, equipment, supplies, and competition costs for Robotics and future programs/projects within this category.

Funding Allocation Details

This year's gala is proudly co-presented by Village Enrichment and VSPA. Funds are distributed through two methods:

• Wishlist Fulfillment: Teacher leads from supported programs have created specific wishlists of items for parents to purchase directly, fulfilling needs immediately.

• Remaining Net Proceeds: After all gala expenses are paid, the remaining funds will be divided as follows:

  • 25% to Fine Arts

  • 25% to Speech and Debate

  • 25% to STEM (Robotics/Computer Science)

  • 10% to VSPA, up to a maximum of $5,000, for their collaboration, and to fund community-building efforts.

  • 10% to Village Enrichment Administrative Expenses, covering our non-profit operational costs (CPA, accounting, IRS filings, auction/online payment platforms, etc.).

  • 5% to the Special Projects Fund, designated for special requests that fall outside the usual scope of program support.
