AISZ 60th Anniversary Gala – A Night to Remember

The AISZ 60th Anniversary Gala, held at the Sheraton Hotel Zagreb, was a truly memorable evening filled with celebration, community spirit and generosity. We extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone who joined us to mark this special milestone and made the night so extraordinary.

A special thank you to our Director, Dr. Darin Fahrney, for hosting the evening with warmth and enthusiasm - made even more unforgettable by his spectacular entrance alongside Coach Dalibor. We are also deeply grateful to Principal Doreen Garrigan and the Early Learning team for their inspiring presentation of the new Lower School Playground plans, the centerpiece of this year’s fundraising efforts.

The evening was enriched by outstanding performances from our talented community. Thank you to Vera for a stunning ballet opening, the Mudri Trio for setting the tone with familiar and much-loved melodies during dinner, Max and Mark for their electrifying guitar duo, Lara for her charming ukulele and vocal performance and Lovro for an impressive and powerful synth showcase. Lastly, thank you to our DJ Em Bee for playing some of the greatest hits at the afterparty.
We were honored to welcome the US Ambassador to Croatia, H.E. Nicole McGraw, and her husband and we thank them for being part of this special occasion and for their contributions to our school.

To our AISZ parents, staff and wider community - thank you for your energy, generosity and your spirit. The evening’s auction was a tremendous success, raising a significant amount of funds toward the development of our new Lower School Playground.

We were also delighted to launch our new school merchandise store during the gala, with many guests taking home exciting items through our lively lucky draw.
