Book: Beneath a Scarlet Sky
by Mark Sullivan

Synopsis:
Based on the true story of a forgotten hero, the USA Today and #1 Amazon Charts bestseller Beneath a Scarlet Sky is the triumphant, epic tale of one young man’s incredible courage and resilience during one of history’s darkest hours.

Pino Lella wants nothing to do with the war or the Nazis. He’s a normal Italian teenager—obsessed with music, food, and girls—but his days of innocence are numbered. When his family home in Milan is destroyed by Allied bombs, Pino joins an underground railroad helping Jews escape over the Alps, and falls for Anna, a beautiful widow six years his senior.

In an attempt to protect him, Pino’s parents force him to enlist as a German soldier—a move they think will keep him out of combat. But after Pino is injured, he is recruited at the tender age of eighteen to become the personal driver for Adolf Hitler’s left hand in Italy, General Hans Leyers, one of the Third Reich’s most mysterious and powerful commanders.

Now, with the opportunity to spy for the Allies inside the German High Command, Pino endures the horrors of the war and the Nazi occupation by fighting in secret, his courage bolstered by his love for Anna and for the life he dreams they will one day share.

What is a Paddle Raise? It is a commitment to make a 100% tax deductible monetary donation to a specific initiative which is called a Fund a Need.

This year, we will continue to build upon the Fund for Financial Aid, which was launched with great success last year. Your commitment to the Fund a Need is made by raising your bid paddle during that portion of the live auction. Paddle raises will start at $10,000 and continue to $100.

Our Fund For Financial Aid not only helps to enrich our school community, but it demonstrates our commitment to diversity, inclusion, and equity. We are proud to be making a commitment to share our outstanding school with students who could not otherwise afford to attend.

At MP&MS we feel strongly that it is not only the student who receives the aid who benefits from a robust financial aid program but the community at large. Tuition Assisted families currently make-up 15% of our student body. Tuition assistance can also include help with our hot lunch program and after school activities.
