Auction

 I volunteered to be in charge of donations for the school auction.  I started working on it in August and it consumed most of my free time in January/February.  We had over 300 items to bid on, including signed Royals items for the live auction!  We raised over $40,000 for the school to pay for all the field trips, assemblies, class parties, teacher stipends for classroom supplies, and community events like Science Night, Dads and Doughnuts, and Moms and Muffins.

Even though it was a ton of work, I definitely had fun.  Everyone on the auction committee was a friend so meetings were more like girls' nights.  And of course auction is always a blast.  Our theme was "Homegrown" and it was held in the new Johnson County Arts and Heritage Center. 

The bid paddles had our principal's and secretary's faces on the back.

Steve helped with set-up and put up this display with all the art.  He was so proud of it, he took a picture. :)

I'm working the balloon pop.  You paid $5 and got to pop a balloon that had a number inside.  Some numbers were gift cards and some were just school pencils/bumper stickers, but everyone was a winner!

The angel wings (in school colors) were a take on a famous KC mural.
