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.


IMPORTANT DUE DATES:

November-January: Get creative and think about what you what to donate.

March 15th, 2025: Procurement forms due.

April 15th, 2025: Turn in items to St Benedict School.

May 9th, 2025: Time to party at our school auction!

WELCOME TO ST. BENEDICT'S 2025 AUCTION!

This year’s theme is Back to the 80's! Here’s the skinny: eat, drink, bid, support our school!  

The St. Benedict Annual Auction is our biggest fundraiser of the year. Last year, it raised $200K with the funds going to a much-needed lighting and security update. Every penny from the auction goes back to St. Benedict—and our children! The auction has allowed our school to:

·        Enhanced building security as well as new bell and intercom system. 

·        Provide technology carts in each classroom.

·        Enhance our excellent curriculum.

·        Provide competitive salaries for our teachers.

·        Offer tuition assistance to families in need.

·        Build a new office for our school counselor.

·        Remodel the cafeteria and purchase new tables and chairs

·        And much more!

We welcome you, family, and friends to join us online for the silent auction on May 5-9th, 2025 and for a rad 80's evening for the live auction on May 9th, 2025 at the Ballard Elks.
