Auction Items and Experiences Wanted!

2/19/2025 8:01 am

The success of the auction depends on several factors including how many items and experiences we have for parents to bid on. Silent Auction volunteers are soliciting business donations. In the past, we have had our parents graciously donate many items and experiences and we are so appreciative!

***Have an item you could donate to Silent Auction?***

If you have season tickets to sporting events or the arts (plays, ballets, etc..), you can donate those items to be bid on! In addition, if you own a time share or vacation home you could donate this as a live auction item. Do you have unused gift cards lying around? Those help too! If you are interested in donating, please complete this form (https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeQ_GpjPLISBg6rsNEEeBSv-C5amev8i5gZRkPcy8Y9aVerHA/viewform) or drop off items to the front office.

***Silent Auction Children Socials and Parent Socials Desired!***

Children & Parent Socials are parties hosted by a Clermont family/supporter where a specified number of “tickets” are sold at the auction at a set price on a first come basis. These can be for children or adults-only. Hosts set the details/themes of the party and contribute the costs of the event, so that full ticket price from the Social is donated to the Clermont PTA. Often times, Socials have multiple hosts to share the costs of the Social. In the past, there has usually been at least one Social offered per grade level.

***Examples of Parent Socials from previous years:***

• 2nd Grade Moms Wine Night In
• 6th Grade Moms Night Out
• March Madness Final Four Party
• Whiskey Enthusiast Tasting
• I compost, you compost, we all scream for compost!

***Examples of Children Socials from previous years:***

• 3rd Grade Boys Basketball
• 1st Grade Paint and Popsicles
• 4th Grade Outdoor Move Night

These Socials are an excellent opportunity to meet and get to know better other students and/or parents at Clermont Elementary School and do not have to cost anything but time. For example, in the past we have had a parent social to meet in the park for an hour and do yoga.

Several years ago, based on parent feedback, we discontinued Classroom Baskets and asking parents for additional donations towards that. We are hopeful we can obtain at least one social per grade level as these are very popular. Thanks for your consideration!
