Gala 2024
Thank you for joining us at Enchanted: Ancona's 2024 Gala!
The 2024 Gala was an amazing night filled with magic and merriment—a joyous celebration of our school and community! Patricia Erington and Jon Stoper were honored with the Teaching Excellence Award, and Emily A. Chen and Austin Bartlett received the Spirit of Ancona Award in recognition of their many years of service and support to the school. We are proud to say that because of the Gala, we can continue to uphold our commitment to economic diversity in our community, now and in the future!
