Wiley Way Soirée: Roaring 20s Night

---

The Wiley Way Soirée is an adults-only charity event to address and support important needs in the Wiley Magnet Elementary School community while having lots of fun. The Soirée also helps foster a strong school community by celebrating the pillars of the “Wiley Way”: collaboration, empathy, kindness and respect.

This year the Soirée is shining a light on two non-profit organizations at the school:

• The Cecilia Rawlins Fund provides Wiley students and families in need with food and housing assistance - a need that has grown dramatically during the past year. 
• The Wiley Elementary Foundation raises funds to increase teacher and staff pay as a way to strengthen Wiley’s award-winning International Studies magnet program.

All proceeds from this event, including the silent auction, will be shared 50-50 by the organizations. 

Parents, teachers, alums, alum parents, and friends of the school are all invited, so spread the word! It's a 1920s theme this year to connect with the Wiley 100 anniversary. Let's toast this milestone!

What to Wear

Festive attire -- Flapper and Great Gatsby costumes are encouraged. We'll have a few extra accessories in case you forget your feather boa. The party venue features both indoor space and a tented outdoor grass area, so we discourage spiky high heels.

Parking 

Parking on site is limited, but front door VIP parking is included in many Supporter Packages! There is on-street parking when the small lot fills up. We recommend ride sharing services.
