2) The Spring Silent Auction April 20th, 2020.
This is our most important and popular fundraising event. The theme is Time and Talent.
Items are donated from our community and solicited from local businesses.
The auction takes place at our all-school meeting on April 20th, 2020. Starting in January class fundraisers will start working with their class to identify donations for the auction and develop the class baskets. Last year’s categories were: Parent's Night Out (as well as Brunch Out, and Night with Friends), Gardening and Adult Beverages, and Beach.
Some local business’s require requests to be made well in advance. If you know what you would like to donate, or if you would like to approach a local talent, service or business about an auction now, below is the procurement forms and an “Ask Letter” you can use:
