CLASSROOM BASKETS
Don't know what to donate?  How about donating to the Class Basket Auction item.  

For those of you who are not familiar with our Class Baskets, we designed these baskets so that every family in our school has an opportunity to contribute to the success of our school Auction. We realized that not everyone has a business, a product, or a service that they can donate.  So, here is a simple way to get involved. This year we are creating 6 themed baskets. 
 
The baskets are assigned to different grade levels.  All you have to do is find the basket associated with your student(s), chose an item/donation that fits into that basket and send it to school with your student(s). Collection boxes will be located outside of classrooms.  If you choose to send in a monetary donation or gift card, please place the donation in an envelop and send it to the office, Attn: Melissa Cawyer, with your family name and grade level(s). 

Preschool :  Family Pool Party Basket.
  
I would like to get a nice cooler and fill it with anything a family would need to have a pool party: pool toys, floats, non-breakable table ware, gift cards for snacks, beverages (adult or otherwise), etc.  Just anything a family could use at the pool.

Kindergarten/1st:  Mexican Fiesta Basket.  
I would like to purchase (or have donated) a gift card for the winner to get enough food to feed 10 people.  I would also like to include everything you need to make margarita's, including some fun margarita glasses.  Then anything else you would need to host a Mexican Fiesta, table ware, plastic ware, decorations, etc.

2nd Grade:  Picnic in the Park Basket.  
How fun would it be to gather your picnic basket and head to the park?  We will need a large picnic basket and everything you need to head outdoors.  Monetary donations can be used to purchase the basket.  Also, gift cards to Central Market or Whole Foods so the winner doesn't have to prepare their picnic food.  To take this basket up a notch I would like to try to include a gift card to the Botanic Garden Concert in the park. I can purchase it with monetary donations or if someone would like to donate that, WOW!

3
rd/4
th Grade
:  Ladies Night Out Basket. 
 
Who wants to have a glass of wine and paint with your best girlfriends?  I would like to include a gift card for a party of 10 to attend a painting class.  Included would be some wine, wine glasses, wine charms, perhaps a gift card for purchase of snacks to take with to the party.  Get creative.  What fun items would you like to make your Ladies night our fun?

5th GradeOrangeTheory Fitness Basket.  
After your Ladies Night Out or that Mexican Fiesta, you are going to need to work out!!  OrangeTheory Fitness South West Fort Worth has donated an introductory, 4 class package.  I would like to be able to purchase a few OrangeTheory items (shirt, towel, water bottle) to include in the basket.  I would also like to "orange" themed workout items:  a yoga mat, small weights, workout shirts, etc.  

6th, 7th, and 8th GradeApple iWatch Basket.  
I would really like to aim for a his/hers basket(s) depending on the participation, which is why I included 3 grades.  We could get the watch(es), an additional watch band, and iTunes cards. 
Any questions, please feel free to contact me, Melissa Cawyer.  You can call/text at 817-832-9394 or email me atcawyers@sbcglobal.net  Thank you in advance and I look forward to another successful Class Basket showing.

COMMITTEES THAT NEED YOUR HELP
Please contact the auction chairs if you are interested in chairing and helping with any of the following committees.  Many thanks to those who have responded to this need! 
 
Wrap-up
  • Are you the "Martha Stewart" of loose ends, or an organization genius?  Can you take a task and run with it until the very end?  Then we need your skills to help ensure that we wrap up the auction once all of the planning is done and the event evening has ended.  You'll work with the chairs to identify tasks and things that need to be taken care of so that nothing is left undone.
 
Vendor Directory
  • New this year will be a vendor directory which will be included in the school family directory.  The vendor directory will contain the businesses and services that have sponsored the auction that Saint Andrew families can use.  This is a great way to reciprocate the support that our community has for the school.  We will need help collecting the vendor information and working with the family directory to create the information.

AUCTION LETTERS, SPONSORSHIP FORMS & CONTRACTS
Auction letters and sponsorship forms can be found here.

Community Partner Letter (to be used when soliciting items from businesses)

When you visit your favorite restaurant, salon, or spa, ask if they would contribute an item or service to the auction.  Present the letter for information and have them fill out a contract once you have secured the donation.

Contracts are in the school office.  If you are bringing an item to the school, please fill out a contract form in the office when you drop it off.
