Performathon Weekend: 5/17/13 & 5/18/13

Last weekend Bloomingdale's students, parents, faculty, staff, and Board of Directors came together to celebrate our school at the annual Performathon and Performathon Prelude events. Over the course of two days, $50,000 was raised to support BSM's financial aid program. More than 250 people participated in the two events, performing a wide variety of music and showcasing our community in its full diversity and creativity.
