Silent Auction Classroom Baskets
Each classroom has been given a theme and asked to donate items towards their basket if able. These baskets will be auctioned off at the Fun Fair’s Silent Auction. All proceeds of the Fun Fair will go towards purchasing new technology for the school. Basket items will be collected in the classrooms during the weeks of April 21-May 4
