Thank You for Helping to Make the Holiday Auction a Success!

Thank you for Your Support!

We are grateful for everyone's efforts in putting together another successful Holiday Auction. Together with the launch party at VON Bar we raised $21,400 for our school. So much generosity and giving went into this: families who donated items, solicited items, bid and outbid, gave their time in preparing, running, and closing out the auction. Proceeds will be used to support our school's operating expenses, provide tuition assistance and offer our teachers continued training and education.

We are processing all of the orders and preparing to distribute auction items to winning bidders this week. 

Hugs and thank you to all!
