[Sa-staff] Recap - Scotty’s Slumber Party

[Selina Hernandez]

Hello Highlanders!

Thank you to everyone who came out and celebrated with us at this year’s *Staff
Assembly Holiday Party, Scotty’s Slumber Party!* Seeing our campus
community come together in festive PJs and joyful spirits truly made the
event unforgettable. Your energy and enthusiasm are what make this
celebration so special each year. Please see photos here

Thanks to your generous donations, the R’Pantry is now well-stocked to
support our students, and there will be many happy wagging tails at Mary S.
Roberts with all the food, treats, bedding and toys you helped provide.

This event would not have been possible without the incredible dedication,
creativity, and hard work of so many people across campus. I would like to
extend my deepest appreciation to everyone who contributed their time,
ideas, and talent.
