The auction is coming up quickly on Saturday, March 15.  Save the date and make plans to attend! It is a fun night for our school community.  Ticket sales will begin soon.  Currently, the auction committee is collecting donations for our live and silent auctions.  This is a huge part of the auction and we are asking each family to please provide at least one item to our event. Parents, families, local community businesses and friends provide some of the best and most creative donations to the auction. Donations could include gift certificates, themed baskets, tickets to events, or even a trip! You do not have to purchase these items for donation. We ask that you ask your family, friends & fellow business owners to help our school with a donation, all which are tax deductible. Donation forms, along with request letters, are available in the school’s main office.  All donations are due to the main office on or before February 26.
