Our annual auction is on Saturday, March 24. Here are two ways you can help make it a great event:
Drop off a bottle of wine:
Wine donations are needed for our crowd favorite wine wall activity! Please consider donating a bottle (or bottles!) of wine that retail for $15+. Wine can't be stored at school, so Middle School parent Shelly Rousseau has offered her front porch at 6702 Division Ave NW as a drop off location. A box is labelled, ready for your wine donation! Alternatively, contact Shelley at [email protected] to arrange a way to get her your wine donations.
Host a Party:
Help us create some amazing parties & experiences for guests to purchase at this year's auction. Do you have a passion that you could share with others? Consider putting your passions into a fun party that raises money for our school! Things like photography classes, cooking lessons, a group outing to a sporting event all make a great party. Or, maybe host a murder mystery dinner, poker evening, cocktail hour at your home, a cooking or home preserving session, a Magic The Gathering get together, or a jewelry making evening. Parties can be any size and hosted by more than one person. It's a great way to collaborate with fellow Salmon Bay parents to support your school. If you have an idea but are not sure how to implement it please, contact Rebecca Trlica or Danielle Steele. Or, fill out this party form and we'll follow up with you!

PCC Scrip Cards
Last week we received a check for over $500 from PCC! The check was equal to 5 % of the amount our supporters reloaded to their PCC scrip cards in the second half of last year. If you shop at PCC, using one of our scrip cards is a great way to support Salmon Bay.
We have 15 new PCC scrip cards for sale. Each card has a $50 value and is already registered to Salmon Bay School. You simply purchase the card, use it when you shop and add more value when needed. You get groceries and FOSB gets a donation! Stop by the Volunteer Coordinator office to purchase your PCC Scrip card.
