THE AUCTION IS REALLY TWO AUCTIONS 
twoYes, 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...

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?

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!
