teacher experiences

Some of the most amazing and sought after items at the Silent Auction are the Teacher Experiences. We are writing today to ask if you might consider donating your time and talents toward an Experience for this year’s Silent Auction. Teachers and staff that choose to participate create an activity or outing for one, two or more students on a mutually agreed upon date. Participation is entirely voluntary, and if you choose to contribute, you can do so in whatever way works for you. In the past, teachers' donations have included: museum trips, afternoon bowling sessions, baking classes, art classes, trips to the bookstore, photography sessions, after school ice cream, trips to the park or playground, babysitting, lunch with a teacher, and visits with a classroom pet. The list has been endless and your donations are always an auction favorite!

why donate?

The Annual Gala and Silent Auction is our biggest fundraising event of the year. and funds the PA’s need-based scholarships as well as school and neighborhood greening; community outreach; teacher enrichment opportunities; and in-school and broader community events.

how do i sign up?

If you choose to participate, please let us know before February 10th by filling out the form below. Please keep your outings to an out of pocket maximum of  $25. If you would like to plan an excursion that exceeds that amount, please let the PA know so that you can be reimbursed and we can set the minimum bid accordingly.

ticketed experiences

A new addition to this year's Auction is Ticketed Experiences. We have been told this has been very successful at other schools. For experiences that involve more than one or two children, Ticketed Experiences would allow access to multiple families by offering tickets for the experience. If you feel like your activity might be suited to this, please check the box on the online donation form. Ideas: Book reading and cookies for five, Playtime for six on the terrace after school, Pizza party at lunch, craft class for four…

thank you!

We realize that your time is priceless, and every single donation is appreciated! Thank you so much for your consideration. If you have any questions, please email us at wnspa@willnorth.org.
