This year’s highly-anticipated VSSA Holiday Luncheon and Boutique on November 14 at Sherwood Country Club, brought together more vendors than ever before, offering our Viewpoint community a joyful chance to shop, savor, and socialize. From a robust selection of jewelry and clothing, to beauty and culinary products, plus home decor, the festive boutique was abuzz with holiday shoppers.

Guests enjoyed exciting new additions, including a live painting by portrait and sneaker artist Ava Mae, who created an original portrait of Kobe Bryant. Each year, 20% of proceeds from the boutique support VSSA’s efforts to enhance student and faculty activities.

“I’m so excited to be part of this wonderful event and to support such a meaningful cause. Giving back has always been important to me, and I’m grateful to contribute to something that benefits the community,” said Mae.

Attendees spent the afternoon enjoying the lively atmosphere, catching up with friends, and experiencing the many special touches that made this year’s holiday boutique memorable. After sitting down for lunch, guests participated in the event’s raffle before hearing remarks from VSSA Co-Presidents Mana Partow and Carin Maddox-Smith, as well as first-year parent and VSSA Holiday Luncheon and Boutique Chair Monica Elnekaveh. 

“The school was so welcoming to us. During our first week here, it felt like everyone already knew my son by name, and I remember thinking how special this community is and wanting to give back,” shared Elnekaveh. “I love putting events together because they foster connection, which is so important. That’s why I decided to chair this beautiful event.”

The program concluded with one final round of shopping, bringing a warm and joyful close to this cherished annual tradition.
