A MESSAGE FROM THE PTO PRESIDENT
Welcome everyone to the 3rd Annual Crab Feed and Auction! This event is a culmination of the efforts of the GRDC families and the community coming together to support our children’s education. The dedication of our parents, teachers and our many donors to GRDC is clear through ticket sales, services, money donations, sponsorships and countless hours spent pulling this event together. I consider myself lucky to be a part of such an amazing group of parents and educators who consistently put our children’s success and education first.
Throughout the evening my hope is that we all keep in mind why we are here and we raise bids and our paddles high so we can continue to invest in our students, teachers and schools. It doesn’t hurt that we have a great time while we are doing it!
Throughout the year I invite you to reach out and express new ideas, thoughts or concerns when you have them. The GRDC PTO is here to support all students K-8 and are truly the most successful when we all come together and work as a team.
I look forward to a fun and very successful evening.
Bid Big and Have Fun!
Emily Lewis GRDC PTO President 2015-2016 A MESSAGE FROM THE CRAB FEED AUCTION CHAIRS
Are you ready for the year’s largest “fun-raiser”?! We are thrilled to enjoy this SOLD-OUT evening with the families, staff, and friends of Gold River Discovery Center. The 3rd Annual Crab Feed and Auction has something for everyone starting with an amazing dinner and auction, to the crowd-favorite Dessert Dash, cocktails, dancing, and the best group-selfies money can buy! #CrabFeed2016.
We invite you to bid big on fantastic silent auction items and vie for fabulous live auction features, adventure packages, and one-of-a-kind art pieces made by our kids and members of the community. In addition to this evening's auction, you also have the opportunity to fund a much-needed stage screen and lighting for the GRDC multipurpose room through the Fund-A-Need campaign. As we enjoy this event together, it is important to remember why we are here…to support the continued growth and success of our incredible school and its dedicated teachers and staff!
This event is made possible through the tireless work of so many people. We would not be able to do it without the tremendous support of our families, friends, and the GRDC administration and staff. We are so grateful for the GRDC community, which has helped make tonight a smashing success. Enjoy the evening and bid your hearts out! We look forward to joining you on the dance floor after the auction!

Fund A Need Do you have a budding actor or actress in the family? Perhaps your student sings in the choir or wants to perform in a talent show? Then we need your help bringing new life to the multi-purpose room at GRDC.
The multi-purpose room at GRDC is the hub of our school community. The PTO understands the importance of fostering the growth of the GRDC community and this is why renovating the aging MP room stage is this year’s Fund A Need. The school stage is utilized by many groups at GRDC and the benefits of this upgrade will be shared school- wide.
Last year, the PTO set aside funds to replace the outdated stage curtains. We are looking forward to have them installed in 2016.
With this Fund A Need, we hope to continue enhancing this area by providing a new screen and stage lighting. Adding these elements will ensure a whole new experience in staging performances. A screen replacement is a crucial component of the stage area as it is utilized in assemblies and other community events at our school. The current screen no longer functions. New lighting will enhance student performances such as recitals and school plays. The last moments of being a Miner are experienced on this stage during the 8th grade promotions. Better lighting would make capturing and experiencing this moment all that much better.
Moving forward, the PTO would also like to bring back talent shows and spelling bees. New lighting is vital to the success of these events. A refreshed and revitalized stage will help enhance and foster the GRDC community. The PTO hopes that a stronger school community will in turn reflect in our students’ attitude and character.
Please join us in supporting this year’s Fund A Need – MP Room Stage Renovations
