Harvest ball heightens jollity
Rosanne Fortier
Over 300 adults waved the magic wand
towards an elegant evening for them-
selves and a bright future for our young
people when they attended The Harvest
Ball presented by St. Martin’s School
Foundation at Vegreville Social Centre
on October 22.
The theme for this year was James Bond
and the center was decorated according
to this theme. The atmosphere was a
postcard of black and white décor and
guys and gals dressed in chic attire cou-
pled with others in spooky costumes.
Miles Wowk was the Master of Ceremony
for the evening.
The ball opened with cocktails and
then, Dan Coles, Principal at St. Martin’s
School led the attendees with grace and
they dined on a luxurious dinner. During
dinner, the bar reopened.
Jonathan Zabrick from Dusk ‘til Dawn
DJ Services was the DJ who provided
the music.
A live auction was held with profession-
ally created items that were made by the
students at St. Martin’s School with the
footnotes from other sources. The words
on these items really reflected what the
night was all about because one read: We
hold our children’s hands for a little
while. But they hold our hearts forever.
Morgana Lansen said that she likes this
ball because it is a fundraising event that’s
a fun, dressed-up affair. “It’s so important
for people to support St. Martin’s School
because it takes a community to raise a
child,” Morgana mentioned.
Heather Kokotyn, Chairperson said
that everyone looks forward to this
Harvest Ball which they hold annually.
The funds will be used for St. Martin’s
School to fund field trips, busing, math
manipulatives, classroom novel sets and
readers, iPads and Chrome books, swim-
ming and skating lessons and special
events at the school.
