How do I bid?
If you have purchased your tickets, you will be notified via text when bidding has been opened. From there all bidding can be done via mobile phone, iPad, or desktop. Each teacher experience is categorized by grade with multiple spots available for multiple children. You are welcome to bid on any spot and the top bidder of EACH seat will be awarded the experience. (For example, there are 9 bidding spots for the experience, each spot is a child which will be awarded the experience.) Be sure to check out all the categories for various prizes!

YES!! This event is open to friends, family and parishioners! We have something for everyone at the auction. Please feel free to browse our selection of items, purchase your tickets and join us, you never know you may have so much fun that may become a part of our family! 
 
What should I wear?
This cocktail party is a night to get fancy and enjoy some time away from the kids! We suggest dress slacks or nice jeans with a button down for men, as well as a sport coat if the weather is chilly. For the ladies, we suggest dress slacks and a nice blouse or a cocktail dress. 
 
I understand this is a major fundraising effort for the school, but where exactly does my money go? 
The funds generated from this AMAZING event go to various areas of the school; including technology, class improvements and more. This year the funds raised will go to upgrading all the computers used by teachers and security upgrades throughout the school. The safety of our children is a top priority and the upgrades will continue to provide top notch safety.  Some of the items on the upgrade list include:

• Clearly labeled signage throughout the campus and building
• New and/or upgraded fencing as well as make repairs to current fencing
• Upgraded security camera system
• Upgraded exterior lighting
