29th Annual Anderson Auction

The Auction is by far, one of the most fun events of the school year!

You don’t want to miss it, so mark your calendars now for March 6, 2021. This year, the whole family is invited to our largest fundraiser of the year!

The funds we raise through the Auction allow us to continue to provide our children with all the wonderful enrichment programs and extra resources they receive such as:

  • Foreign Language
  • Chess
  • Music
  • Fitness & Wellness Initiatives
  • Teaching Assistants
  • Classroom Technology
  • School Equipment
  • …and so much more!

Without the PTA’s fundraising efforts, we would have to reconsider the viability of each of these programs.
