2023-2024 Fundraising Co-Chairs: Monica Wyche, Julianne Parmenter, and Angela Rinella


The Center School Annual Auction and Potluck is one of our school’s most cherished traditions.  

Families, students, and staff come together to celebrate our community over a shared meal, and top off the night with both silent and live auctions, raising funds to support the programs that make Center School such a unique place to learn.

Students especially love the annual Teacher Raffle, which gives them a chance to win special outings with Center School teachers. Previous outings include bird watching, a food tour of Queens, bowling, and mani/pedis. (Another highlight of the evening is the spontaneous dance party that breaks out in the cafeteria, featuring a playlist curated by students.)

While many schools host fundraising auctions off-site and for adults only, our event is a celebration of our community with our entire community. We bring favorite dishes to share, connect with teachers and staff, and strengthen friendships that carry us throughout our years at Center and beyond.

We hope you’ll join us.
