World Academy to hold gala fundraiser for school’s GBO fund

World Academy, formerly known as the World Schools, in conjunction with the Gordon B. Ouellette Memorial Fund, will host the second annual GBO Memorial Fund Spring Gala Friday, May 11 from 7-11 p.m. at the Radisson Hotel Nashua.

The GBO fund exists, in loving memory of the late Gordon Ouellette of Nashua, to support the high quality of World Academy’s student community by promoting access to the exceptional educational experience offered regardless of financial circumstances.

The school focuses on enhanced opportunities in Science, Technology, Engineering, the Arts and Math (STEAM), 21st century learning and extraordinary curricular and extra curricular experiences through the 8th grade.

World Academy celebrated its 30th anniversary in 2011, commemorating three decades of excellence for infants through middle school students.

The gala’s theme is appropriately “Taste of the World” and will combine different ethnic foods with fellowship, music and alumni performances as it marks the culmination to the fund’s second annual silent auction.

Nashua’s Mayor Donna Lozeau and New Hampshire native Paul Levesque (HHH) of the WWE and Gordon’s brother-in-law, will be in attendance as celebrity auctioneers.

The Gala offers a venue for parents, staff, alumni, family and friends to celebrate the diversity of the World Academy community and support the GBO fund.

There are some truly special auction items from the community, families and especially from the classrooms themselves that deserve the focus the gala will afford them.

To participate, donate or purchase admittance to the gala, contact Nancy Goulden at World Academy at 888-1982 or ngoulden@worldacademynh.com.
