THE AUCTION IS REALLY TWO AUCTIONS | | Yes, you read that correctly.
The first part is the online auction which will run March 1st (9am) thru March 10th (12pm), and the second is the big auction party on March 9th, 7pm-midnight. The online auction will feature all categories with the exception of Parent Parties, Class Creations, Teacher Treat, and of course LIVE. These categories will be available for review, but may only be bid on at the auction party. |
A NIGHT IN MONTE CARLO... | |
Auction party is March 9th
7pm - midnight
Join us for an evening that will include signature martinis (shaken not stirred), wine, beer, unlimited appetizers, dinner and dessert. Bidding will be open for Teachers' Treats, Class Creations and Parent Parties, culminating in the much anticipated Live Auction. Afterwards, lay down your bets or relax in the lounge while you enjoy a fabulous night at the casino. |
WHY STICK AROUND AND ANTE UP? | | Another chance to win
Well, at the end of the night, as you leave the party, we will ask that you put your winnings (chips) in buckets marked with each grade (PK-5th) here at Lafayette. The grade with the most chips at the end of the event will win a fabulous movie field trip to the Avalon Theater! |
TICKETS ARE ON SALE NOW! | | Get them early
Tickets for the event are $60 pre-sale and $75 at the door. Each ticket includes your auction reservation, as well as a $50 voucher to gamble in the casino. To purchase your tickets sign in to Maestro (it's easy to create a new account if you haven't signed in before), and click on the "Buy Tickets" tab. From there make a selection from the drop down menu and follow the prompts.
While buying your tickets, we hope you'll consider the option to "Sponsor a Teacher" for $25, or "Sponsor a Teacher and Guest" for $50. We love our teachers and staff, and since they do so much for our kids, we give them complimentary tickets to the event. So, we hope you'll help us cover the cost of these tickets. |
