An evening of cocktails, music, hors d'oeuvres to support your children's enriched education at the Annual Fundraising Gala. Festive semi-formal/black tie optional attire encouraged and masque required.
Grandparents, extended family, close friends and future families of APP are welcome, so please share this link. The more coming to support our kids, the merrier. Silent auction begins promptly at 6:30pm and ends at 9:30pm.
RSVP and purchase your tickets by Saturday, March 3, 2018.
Thank you to Tony and Michelle for providing this year's venue for our annual gala.
Our goal is to match last years successful fundraiser and raise $31k through our auction, ticket sales, direct donations and other fundraiser events. Here's a short summary of what it supports:
Field trips (the pumpkin patch in the fall, the trolley car ride to the tree lot in the winter, the Discovery Museum in the summer, etc).
Weekly Playball classes
Bi-weekly visits from Doris the Storyteller and Music with Michael
School needs not accounted for in the operating budget - new red vests, new tables, etc.
In addition, the funds contribute towards annual teacher bonuses and professional development. Needless to say, our teachers are the heart of the school, and we are so fortunate to have such a strong group of educators for our children!
Historically each APP family contributes two (2) items towards the live and/or silent auctions. Ideas for your auction donations are outlined at the end of this message. Please submit your auction items by Monday, February 19 (President's Day). Please use this form to submit your donations. Your donations are greatly appreciated by the APP community, including our board, parents, teachers and the children.
Also, friend @APPFundraiser on Instagram for the inside scoop on what auction items will be available.
