This past weekend the Counselors attended the beautiful Bounasera Gala put on by our amazing Advancement office. Thank you to all the donors who purchased tables, donated items, bid on those items, and donated out of the goodness of their hearts to support SPX education. You made this night a success. We are truly blessed.
