Feast on seafood and steak at St. Mary of the Assumption School’s first-ever All You Can Eat Surf and Turf Celebration on Nov. 12 in the multi-purpose hall at 302 S. Miller St. in Santa Maria. The dinner will include king crab legs, top sirloin, side dishes, and dessert. A limited number of $50 tickets are still being sold at the school and St. Mary’s Church rectory.
All proceeds from the dinner will help pay for school technology and classroom improvements, including laptops for the teachers and students.
“We’ve brought cutting-edge technology to the school. This year we covered the entire campus with a single WiFi network integrated with our computer lab, enabling students to access their work and the Internet from any computer in the school,” Principal Michelle Cox said in a press release. “Six of our classrooms have digital projection systems including document readers allowing teachers to display papers, articles, pictures, and computer programs to the entire class. We need four more systems to bring this revolutionary capability to all of our teachers.”
The Surf and Turf Celebration is the brainchild of Clifford Labastida and Robert Bonilla.
“We’re excited the family offered to lead this event. It will bring the community together, including our many alumni, while allowing us to develop a better educational program for our children,” Cox added in the release.
