Teach Elementary's annual spring auction fundraiser is April 20.
The Creeky Tiki April Social & Auction is April 20, and
we hope you consider making a contribution to this worthwhile event.
Now, more than ever, our fundraising efforts are needed! This year
scholarship applicants are at an all time high, transportation costs and
programming of events off campus rise and our student population is at a
high. Not to mention we will need funds for any moves or changes in our future. Now is the time to come join the fun by attending this event and
contributing at an amount where you are comfortable.
The spring auction is Teach's largest and most important fundraiser, and has raised up to $20,000 for our school in the past. Please participate and make this the best year ever!
If you are able to procure any items for this auction, the committee is looking towards the following categories:
hotel, lodging, restaurants, winery/wine, experiences (kayak, surf,
arts classes), performance venues, sports events, jewelry or if you have
a personal relationship to a local business, please consider asking
them for a donation.
**NEW THIS YEAR is a Bid Board – where there will be events that
you can purchase a ticket to attend. Each sign up is $10 (except for an ‘adult
social event’ that is $25/person).
We are looking for volunteers to host these bid board events. Events
may be Parent and Child focused, or parent centered. Some examples:
Jewelry with kids and parents; surfing class; singing hour; margarita
party, movie party; spa party; ‘get chopped’ cooking party, ice cream
social, Wii party, Book Party, there are many fun ‘themed’
possibilities! A great way to contribute to our school! Please
seriously consider hosting a bid board event! These events are super fun and have the potential to generate a good amount of funds for our school. Already donated are a pizza party and a sangria party (yum!). What the heck is a bid board?
DUE DATE: Please volunteer by Monday, March 18. Contact your child’s teacher or front office.
Thank you for your help with making this a fun and profitable event. Tickets are on sale HERE. Thank you again for your support of Teach School.

What in the heck is a bid board?
What's a bid board? I'm so glad you asked.
A bid board is basically a sign-up sheet for an item you'd like to buy or an event you 'd like to attend. For example:
Jenny decides to donate a margarita party to Teach Elementary school. Great! Thanks, Jenny!
Jenny and her friends start planning for a super fun event. This is an exclusive party - who gets in? People who signed up at the auction, of course! Jenny and her friends donate their time, hostess skills and a bunch of fruit & liquor.
At the auction, a "board" or sign-up sheet will be presented which describes the margarita party. You'd like to go, so you put your name and your husband's name and pay $20 ($10/ticket) when you check out at the auction. (Don't forget your spouse, friends, etc!)
Time goes by and you completely forget all about it...until you notice on your calendar that YOU ARE INVITED to an exclusive, swanky, invite-only, red carpet, A-list party! Woohoo! You and your husband go to the margarita party, hang out with Jenny and all her friends and all your friends and have a great time!
Jenny sells 26 spots to her $10 margarita party, opens her home to all her friends, has a great time planning and holding the shindig, becomes very popular as a hostess and makes $2600 for Teach Elementary School.
Win-Win!
Get it? The Bid Board can be for any kind of event or party. Surf lesson, art class, jewelry making party, movie night, cooking class, Wii competition, ice cream social...you get the idea. These can be fun for kids, families or adults only. The great thing is that you get to choose - tailor it to your particular skills and talents.
We are all good at something. What are you good at??
