Auction
Thank you to everyone who attended the Auction kick-off meeting. We have a wonderful committee in place and are excited for what is ahead, but it is not too late to get involved!
Our next meeting will be announced in an upcoming newsletter.
In October, your child will be coming home with auction information, including donation information. Our goal is two donations per family.
The auction will be held March 7, 2024, and is the largest fundraiser at Center School.
Funds collected support student learning, such as our computer teacher and technology purchases and also support our enrichment programs such as theater arts and field trips.
Feel free to reach out to us at centerschoolauction@gmail.com. – Angela, Monica, and Julianne
