Auction excitement building
Dear fellow MLCA parents,
Ever since my oldest child, who is now in 8th grade, was a 1st grader I have had the pleasure of being part of the Annual Auction Committee. I chose to be part of the Auction because when I found out that the proceeds from this event help fund things like curriculum, teacher salaries, and building maintenance, and that it is vital in keeping tuition as low as possible, I realized this was where I wanted my efforts to go. Today, I am the acting Auction Committee chairperson for the fourth year in a row.
I know I am a little biased, but the Auction is the single most important fundraiser for MLCA. Before you start to argue that the Crab Feed is a bigger deal, let me explain. The Auction funds MLCA's general fund. The Crab Feed is the main fundraiser for the MLCA Athletic Program. Don’t get me wrong, the athletic program is super important for our school, and now that I have a secondary student involved in athletics I’m even more of a supporter of this part of MLCA. But this distinction of where the funds go is what makes me convinced of the significance of the Fall Auction.
I know that the members of the Auction Committee feel privileged to support the school by working to make the event successful each year. I also know that many of you parents go above and beyond by donating items, sponsoring tables and helping with classroom projects, all of which are integral in the success of the auction.
I am so excited to be a part of a school family that is willing to come together to support the efforts of our teachers and administrators. This school has thrived on this kind of support for almost 50 years and I’m sure it will only continue to grow. Thank you, and I look forward to seeing you at the Auction Nov. 4th.
Blessings,
Janeil Koethke
Fall Auction Committee
