Annual School Fundraiser- May 13
Please join our school community for a night of celebration and philanthropy at our 2023 Annual Fundraiser and Auction to be held on Saturday, May 13th starting at 6pm in the school cafeteria. Keeping with the PTO’s overall theme this year of Celebrating our Communities, the evening will be a Carnival Celebration with food and drink offerings that highlight Carnival celebrations around the world.
Check in: Check in starts at 6:00pm and goes until 6:45pm. The event is planned to end between 10:00-10:30.
Tickets: Tickets can be purchased through the school’s main office or the evening of the event. Note that we will have an overall max capacity of 125 attendees, so it is better to purchase your tickets before the event. Tickets are $60 for an individual or $80 for a couple. You may choose to round up your ticket purchase to $100 if you are interested in covering the cost of our teachers to attend the event free of charge. Your ticket price covers food, open bar, and music for the evening, as well as the availability to play games and participate in the silent and live auctions for the evening.
Childcare: Childcare will be offered in the All Purpose Room for kids aged 3+ at a cost of $20 for one child, $30 for all children in a family. Childcare drop off will be between 6:00-6:15pm and pick up will be 9:45-10:00pm. Pizza, snacks, dessert and juice will be provided, as well as activities and a movie. PLEASE CONTACT THE PTO TO REGISTER FOR CHILDCARE EARLY.
