School House RockStar Honorees included Dr. Scott Cowen and Dr. Norman Francis. Additional guest speakers were Senator Mary Landrieu and Ryan Cotton of Bain Capital, presenting sponsor.

An apple motif decorated Rosy’s Jazz Hall, including dining table centerpieces of glass vases holding green apples and colorful hydrangeas. Rosy’s provided catering, and Mr. Apple provided sweet candied apples.
