Don't Forget Your Limited Edition 2025 Sabot Swag
This year’s special-edition Sabot wine glasses, pint glasses, and t-shirts feature original artwork created by the Kindergarteners in Hope’s class. Their drawings emerged from a class-wide Rainforest project—an exploration of stewardship, animal care, and environmental responsibility. Each piece reflects the curiosity, creativity, and care of young learners discovering their role in protecting our planet.
All orders will be placed on May 5, 2025 and should arrive by the end of May.
ABOUT THE SABOT GALA
The Gala in the Garden is our largest annual in-person fundraising and social event of the year and its success depends on your involvement. Every year, our parents, grandparents, alumni, faculty, staff, and friends come together in our historic Gillette Garden to celebrate our School's program, students, and teacher-researchers. The purpose is to raise funds in support of The Sabot Stronger Fund which provides the vital resources and facilities our students and teachers need – including but not limited to faculty professional development, tuition assistance, upgrades and additions to our shared community spaces, technology and essential programs that benefit our students and more. All of these are integral to the School’s success and are made possible thanks to the generosity of donors like you.
There are many ways to help ensure that our Gala
is a huge success this year!

Attire:
Celebrate Sabot in style with cocktail attire—but with a garden twist! The event will be held outdoors, so we recommend dressing in layers to stay comfortable if the evening turns chilly. Heels are not recommended due to the natural setting, so consider flats, wedges, or block heels. Most importantly, wear what makes you feel great, and get ready for a memorable night with our community!
All proceeds directly benefit our students when supporting The Sabot Stronger Fund.
