Auction Items Anyone?


The Wine Mixer Social and Online Auction fundraising team need your help to bring in items for our auction and raffle!

The Wine Mixer Social will be held February 28 and will include a small auction comprising three-to-five items of significant value, plus a raffle. The Online Auction will take place in late spring.

A key focus of these events is to raise money for the teachers training fund as well as other costs associated with maintaining a quality program. As we all know, the teachers are the heart and soul of AMS; these fundraising activities will enable them to further their Montessori education and professional growth so that they may continue to provide the best quality education for our children! Just one year of Montessori Training costs for one teacher are approximately $15,000. Expenses can include tuition, materials, airfare, and lodging.

We are asking parents who either directly contributed to, or helped solicit donations for, previous events to once again help us bring in auction and raffle items that help make these events a success. For those who have not yet had the opportunity to contribute to past events, now is your chance!

If you have items, ideas, or relationships with potential donors or event underwriters, please contact Shelly Morgan or Sioux-z Marshall!
