To all parents and teachers,

Here is your preview of what’s up for bid at our Spring Auction! Enjoy paging through, and take special notice of the items donated by our GCS families…including a steak & seafood dinner at the Benner house, 10 dozen farm fresh eggs from the Slack family, and handmade items by Mrs. Hewett! I am also excited that we have new teacher features this year…but don’t worry; some of the favorites are still there! Look through all our items carefully—if you want to see them in person, come early on auction day at 9 a.m. to see them displayed before the bidding starts. Also, take note of a few extra special items in our Gift Certificate listing: Phillies tickets, Sight & Sound tickets, a getaway to Sandy Cove in Maryland, custom cakes by Heidi Cox, a pizza dinner at the O’Brien’s house, a BBQ dinner by Jane Reagan, and so much more!

Can't make it to our Spring Auction on March 24? Or, busy working at our auction and don't want to miss an item up for bid? No problem, just place an absentee bid!

Here's how absentee bidding works:

Decide which items you would like to bid on and your highest bid. Remember, all proceeds go to the school's Parent/Teacher Fellowship for our annual budget, allocating funds to the library, art room, teacher supplies & bonuses, playground maintenance, computer room, etc., so bid as high as you can!

If you want to bid on a gift certificate, use the number and name of the business. If it's an item you want to bid on, use the description in bold print. Then, either email the bid to me or return the form to the school office, no later than Wednesday, March 21, by 3 p.m. Further details after that are found on the form itself.

Share this listing with your friends and relatives to give them a preview, too. Talk up the auction to everyone you meet! We do a lot of advertising with signs and place mats, but it’s the word-of-mouth advertising that really brings in the people!

Thank you all for your continued support,

Megan Giuffrida Spring Auction Donation Coordinator [email protected]
