Anderson is a shining example of the best in New York City public school education. Our stellar teachers, top notch administration and incredibly strong community of parents, friends and supporters go above and beyond every single day, working together to help make Anderson a truly special place. The funds we raise in our auction tonight are vital to ensure our kids will continue to have the support, programs and tools they need to succeed. With your generous help, together, we can make a real difference! A million thanks to the over 75 dedicated parent volunteers who have spent several months and countless hours planning this event, our restaurant and beverage sponsors providing tonight’s delicious food and drinks, the parents and teachers who helped to create the extraordinary class projects, and all of the businesses and parents who have contributed and solicited the exceptional array of donations this year. A huge thank you to Jamie Prince, who has dedicated herself wholeheartedly to the auction for many years and has been integral to its growth and success. We will miss you! And to my family, David, Avery & Carson — thank you for your love and support. On behalf of the entire Auction Team, we invite you to eat, drink, shop, have fun — and most importantly, bid wildly for our kids!
