St. Joseph
has a lot of positive things to celebrate such as the success
of the Centennial Campaign, annual pledge drive and the
auction. However, we believe that the MOST positive aspect of
the school is our students. They are the heartbeat of our
school and are so deserving of the very best education and
school experience that we can provide.
The Auction provides a major source of income for our school,
supporting operating expenses, scholarships, areas of
instruction and extra curricular activities. Our 2007 auction
raised over $41,000 for staff development and Smartboard
accessories for the classrooms through the generosity of
parents raising their paddles in the “Fund-an-Item”.
New this year: “For Your Eyes Only” the first-ever Spring Art
Auction. This event is an opportunity to see some of the
amazing art our children create in their classrooms and
through the In Touch with Art program.
We want to thank you in advance for contributing in whatever
way you can. This is a wonderful time for our entire
community to share our gifts and talents. Whether it is
through procuring or donating items, organizing or sponsoring
a table, or sharing of your time through volunteering, we
appreciate your support!
We are excited about Auction 2008 and we look forward to
working with you!
