Pasta Palooza - Thank you!!
On behalf of the PTO and Friends of Drummond, thank you to all of the parents, students, other family members, teachers, staff and administrators who celebrated last night at our first ever Drummond Pasta Palooza!
We were just blown away by the outpouring of support and enthusiasm for this event from all quarters of our Drummond community. So many people came together to brainstorm, plan, recruit, shop, cut, chop, cook, carry, measure, schlep, clean, serve, eat, dance, and even sing. Our volunteers logged a lot of miles up and down all those stairs!
While so many share in the credit for making this event a success, a special shout-out of gratitude to the following: Executive Chefs Rick Shaughnessy and Elizabeth Floersheimer, who led our cooking efforts, Volunteer and Supplies Coordinator Megan Hinchsliff, and Producer Rich Sullivan, who, with the able assistance of Mike Kuzniar, Mark Kwiatkowski, Tony Parker, and Juan Miranda, led our day-of production team.
We also are very grateful to our major donor, Park Grill, and event sponsor, Whitehouse Mortgage. When you’re next down in Millennium Park, stop by the Park Grill for a delicious meal, and if you’re looking to finance or refinance a mortgage, be sure to call Drummond Alum, Alma Martinez, at Whitehouse.
Last but not least, thank you to the PP planning committee: Kelli Rick, Jessica Kwiatkowski, Mike Hannan, Jennifer Tengelsen, Jennifer James, Kyle Petersen, George Langford, Linda Szabo, and Mark Neidlinger.
We hope to see you all at a future Pasta Palooza, as well as other PTO and FOD events!
