Villa Maria School’s 50th anniversary celebration, “An Evening at Villa – Celebrating 50 Years,” was an unforgettable event that brought together 200 school community members including parents, alumni, faculty, friends and distinguished guests. The event highlighted the school’s rich history and featured inspiring speeches from Head of School Bill DeHaven, U.S. Senator Richard Blumenthal, Sister Carol Ann Nawracaj, Howard Capek President of the Board of Trustees, and alumni student Peter Nekos. Guests enjoyed cocktails and drinks by Shake and Stir Vintage Bar Trucks and hors d’oeuvres and dinner for Seaside Sliders. A huge thank you to the Villa community for the many generous donations in support of Villa’s mission, and in honor of our milestone anniversary.
