Hello! I am Ms. Zaslavsky (known by students as Ms. Z) and I am the 11th grade English teacher at Duke Ellington School of the Arts. For many years there has been a tradition of throwing a Gatsby themed luncheon for the 11th graders at the end of the year and Mr. Edge (the AP English teacher) and I want to make sure we continue the tradition.

The luncheon is to honor the students hard work for the year as well as to support the reading of the novel The Great Gatsby. This year is extra special as it is the 100th year of the book and also a great way to honor the wonderful Ms. Francis who created this tradition.

The request is for $3000 dollars to cover the catering and decor for the event.
