The auction will be filled with fabulous baskets and, of course, our one-of-a-kind teacher packages. Help us provide auction items and prizes: we would appreciate gift card donations, which can be dropped off at any front office or brought to a back-to-school event. And if you have access to sporting events, restaurants, wine or other items for our silent auction, please let us know!
