The Spring Auction is the PSO’s second major fundraiser of the year and raises about half of the funds needed for next year’s programs like Reading Assistants, Field Trips, and Art Lit. Donations continue to come in for this year’s online event. Bidding opens Monday morning at 8 am at www.biddingforgood.com/MWPSO. There are a few Parties with Buy It Now options only, so you will want to check them out before all the spots are purchased! The class baskets and projects will be on display in the lobby throughout the auction and they are amazing! Thank you to the parents who organized each one and to all the families who donated to them.
Register now to bid! You will need to register your credit card to be able to bid, and you can setup your account to receive outbid texts on your smart phone as well as emails. You can place Proxy Bids (maximum bids) or you can increase your bid each time you are outbid. Bids will be final when you make them. If you prefer, you will be able to write a check for your winning bids at the end of the auction. The PSO will save on credit card fees if you choose to pay by check.
We are accepting “paddle raise” cash donations for two purposes this year. The Cash Donation page is where funds can be donated to go towards next year’s PSO programs. Check it out to see what your tax-deductible dollars can buy. We also have a goal to raise $3000 to pay for the shipping for the new playground structure that the PSO has been saving for over the last 4 years. Please consider selecting a donation amount from $10-$500 to complete this project. The different funding levels can all be found under the “Playground Shipping” auction category.
