Valencia High School hosted their second Valencia Boutique over the weekend, showcasing over 80 vendors in an effort to raise money for Valencia High students.

Hundreds of Santa Clarita residents attended the event over the weekend, where dozens of individual vendors displayed their uniquely-crafted goods for people to purchase.

Members of the community filled the Valencia High School gym to browse from an assortment of one-of-a-kind items, such as specially-designed sunglasses and handmade wooden flags.

“We have such unique vendors,” said Susan Griffith, who organized the event. “People can come out to find the most unique things.”

The Valencia Boutique originally started in 2017 when Griffith, who had helped run the Saugus Boutique Fantastique for several years, came over to Valencia High with the idea to do a similar event.

“It’s just a great way to raise money for the school,” Griffith said in a previous article.

During its first year, the event benefited the Valencia High School softball team, raising over $7,000, according to Griffith.

This year, the proceeds from the Valencia Boutique are set to benefit the VHS Foundation, which works to bring together parents, administrators, teachers, students and community members to continue providing “world class education for all Valencia High School students,” according to their website.

“Our idea is that we are going to meet our goals and help the kids with what they need,” said John Costanzo, former principal of Valencia High and current president of the VHS Foundation.

Costanzo said that the decision was made to switch the benefiting organization to the foundation in an effort to help all of the students at the school. However, the softball team still had a presence at the boutique, participating in a silent auction as well as selling refreshments.
