On March 23, 2024, St Helen School Parent Teacher Organization (PTO) held its annual auction fundraiser, as well as an in-person Black & White Gala – presented by Preston Chevrolet. This event, formerly known as the Fall Extravaganza, has undergone many changes over the last few years. Most notably, it was held almost exclusively online from 2020 until 2023. Many people voiced their desire to return to an in-person event, so we listened!
More than 150 people attended the Black & White Gala! With their support, and the support of our sponsors, donors, and online participants, we raised over $45,000! Included in that total is over $15,000 donated during the live auction Call to Heart donation, which will be used to offset the cost of purchasing 5th through 8th grade Chromebooks.
We are most sincerely grateful for everyone who participated in our Gala and Online Auction. PTO and the Athletic Boosters Club rely on these funds to support our school and keep costs for sports and community activities and events to a minimum. St Helen School PTO budgets nearly $20,000 each year, which contributes to teacher appreciation and classroom start-up supplies, DARE, marketing & technology, field trips, as well as family engagement events, like the Christmas dinner, Halloween party, Skating parties, Drive-in Night, and much more.
We look forward to next year's Auction & Gala event, which is currently in it's planning stages. Watch the church bulletin and the St. Helen PTO FaceBook page for updates!
