St. Paul’s Academy announced their 14th Annual Saluté Gala and Wine Auction, held Saturday, Jan. 29th, at the Bellwether Hotel raised $465,000.

The event is an evening featuring wines, food and auction items. All money raised goes towards programs benefitting St. Paul’s Academy.

The “Raise the Paddle” portion of the auction brought in over $200,000, which is earmarked for improvements to our current physical plant, specifically the lower school building at 3000 Northwest Ave. This building will be revitalized via new paint, new carpet and new technology for the lower school.

Construction of a new $11 million upper school facility is also nearing completion.
