Pre-auction parties are a fun way for parents to gather with fellow same-grade parents to celebrate the return to school, toast to a successful summer, and raise funds for 3 PREMIER auction items called "Gathering Gifts". These items will be auctioned off at the Fall Festival. The Gather Gifts are high-value packages consisting of must-have items. Parties are hosted by a few volunteer parents at the location of their choice just a few weeks before the auction. Keep an eye out for your grade's party invitation!
