Auction
The gala will feature a live and silent auction.  This year, our rock star room parents have helped each class create a "priceless" item that they will contribute to our silent auction. Our silent auction is also comprised of golf outings at Quail Valley and the Moorings, spa packages, lotto basket, front row seats to graduation, and so much more!  
 
During the live auction, you will have the opportunity to bid on a full orthodontic treatment for your child or the chance to let your child be principal for the day!  We continue to add to both the live and silent auctions and have some very exciting packages to unveil.
 
We are currently in need of gift cards and bottles of wine to complete our baskets.  If you can contribute, please contact Caitlin Freedman of Stephanie Grall.  
 
Again, we can't thank you enough for contributing.  This event would not be a success if it were not for the continuous generosity of our Falcon Family.  You are truly "Making Good Things Happen."
 
This is our largest fundraising event of the year, and we are looking forward to a wonderful night and hope you will all attend.  This is not just a gala but an opportunity to spend an evening with other parents, teachers, and everyone who makes St. Helen Catholic School a family.
