FAQ:
What is a Silent Auction?
The Auction started twelve years ago as a way to bring together our community while raising money for the school. And it’s a fabulous opportunity to meet other parents. Anyone and everyone is invited, including parents of current, past and future students as well as school staff.
Unforgettable memories and delicious food from Demetri's. While you’re mingling, you can bid on an alluring array of items — gift cards to local restaurants and businesses, artwork by the Burroughs’ kids, sports and theater tickets, events sponsored by teachers, and vacation getaways for the whole family.
All in all, it’s a great parents' night out that benefits our school.
What is a Party Passes?
Party Passes are themed parties, grade-level gatherings, or family activities hosted by other SJE families. You purchase a ticket to attend the Party Passes, the host/s (can be multiple families) cover the costs, and all proceeds go directly to the school. Past events have included “College Party,” “Harry Potter Party,” “An Evening of Christmas Magic” and “Not Quite a Sleepover.” We are looking for new hosts this year. Maybe it’s you? We’re happy to help with ideas. They are very fun, a great way to meet new friends at SJE and a huge fundraiser for the school.
How are the proceeds used?
The money raised at the auction benefits the school directly, which is intended to preserve quality programs for our current students and provide a reserve fund for future school needs. With financial support from the auction, our school has been able to integrate a rigorous and enriched curriculum, provide teacher support, and equip the school with additional safety resources.
