A very special thank you to all those businesses who donated and to the team who solicited these wonderful donations. Thank you to our amazing Ben Franklin Academy Teachers and Staff for their creative and fun teacher experiences. Thank you to all our Room Parents and BFA families for their contributions to our large list of exciting classroom baskets. The proceeds of this event will be used to fund programs that directly benefit the children of our school. Please show your support and appreciation to those who have donated and to those who have worked so hard getting donations by bidding (and bidding high!) on these items. Finally, it takes a village to make an event this large a success. THANK YOU to our Auction Committee, for volunteering so much time and energy for this year’s event! It definitely couldn’t happen without you. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU! 9 10 Letter from the P T O Dear Ben Franklin Academy Community, When I think about how our school has grown and changed since my family and I first came to BFA in August 2012 -- the middle school addition, the STEAM expansion, the change of the upper parking lot from a field into a true parking lot, the outdoor turf and playground enhancements -- it’s clear to me that this place truly is awesome. Then, when you stop and realize that our school is only in its seventh year, the growth and changes become even more remarkable. Part of what makes our school community unique and so special is how each of us made a choice to be here. Whether you are a member of the school board, administration, or staff, a teacher, a parent, a grandparent, a PTO member, or if you fall into more than one of these categories, you are important and you matter. Our school would not be what it is today without each and every single one of you and, of course, the children. We, the PTO, are pleased to present you with the 2017 BENefit Bash Auction Catalog. Our wonderful team of volunteers has worked a countless number of hours to put this incredible event together. A complete list of thank yous to all the volunteers is included elsewhere in the catalog. This year’s BENefit Bash is poised to be a success. And, through your continued generosity, we look forward to being able to support BFA through providing additional upgrades and enhancements to the school, fulfilling teacher requests, and continuing important BFA programs and traditions. I’m honored to represent the PTO as we kick off the 2017 BENefit Bash. I hope you enjoy all the offerings included in the catalog and thank you for your continued support of Ben Franklin Academy. With best regards, Mollie Anderson President, Parent Teacher Organization Mother of a 3rd grader and a 1st grader 11 12 Dinner Menu SALAD Mixed Greens, Candied Walnuts, Goat Cheese, Dried Cranberries, served with a Honey-Shallot Vinaigrette MAIN DISH OPTIONS Apricot Chicken Roulade and Herb Crusted Petite Beef Shoulder ~OR~ Stuffed Portobello Mushroom ~AND~ Two Side Dishes Garlic Cheddar Mashed Potatoes Grilled Seasonal Vegetables DESSERT Strawberry Shortcake Chocolate Cake with Raspberry Drizzle Event Timeline Doors Open, Silent Auction Begins, Bar Opens 5:00 p.m. Silent Auction Closes 6:45 p.m. Dinner Begins 6:50 p.m. Live Auction Program Begins, Last Call for Drinks 7:45 p.m. Bar Closes 8:00 p.m. Dessert and Coffee Served 8:15 p.m. Live Auction Ends, Check Out Opens 9:00 p.m. 13 14 Auction Rules This catalog is an “unofficial” guide and is also available online at: bfacademy.ptapal.com Any donations received after the printing of this catalog will be included in an addendum distributed during check-in or the item will be included in our online auction. 1.
