What is the Silent Auction?
The Silent Auction is an annual PTO fundraiser to benefit King Elementary students, teachers, and staff. All proceeds go to the PTO to support things like school supplies, field trips, teacher grants, classroom resources, enrichment activities, and more.
What is special about the Silent Auction, though, is that many of the “items” auctioned are experiences – teachers teaching students how to make sushi, mom’s night out, ethnic dinners, and more. These events stemming from the Silent Auction are amazing community-building experiences that deepen our connection to one another and foster belonging and inclusion among our King neighbors. We hope you participate in any way you can!
