Hello St. Benedict Families,

Can you believe that the school auction is 5 months away? It’s time to start thinking about your family’s procurement and get excited for this year's theme, Night at the Disco!

WHY: Each family is required to donate item(s) or experience(s) up to $250 in value for the school auction. These are the items that are bid on during the silent auction and live auction. Each year the school can raise money for projects like a new intercom system for the school, a beautiful wood floor for the historic St Benedict School auditorium, and other school improvements. These can be expected like the auditorium improvements or unexpected like a new roof. It is always good to have a savings account.

WHAT: At a loss for what to donate? Some ideas are experiences (e.g. boat excursions, cabin get aways, or sport tickets), themed baskets, or purchase a spot for a fun experience (e.g. Ladies Night Out, Pies and Pints, or Child’s Tea Party). Pro tip: wine and alcohol always go for over the asking price. If you have a wine membership, why not donate some of the wine you enjoy? The best thing is YOU can be creative! Have you ever dreamt about a great place to go or experience? Now you can create that experience or buy that item for your child’s school auction. It’s always fun to see how much things go for.
