The auction is our biggest fundraiser of the year. It helps cover the 10% gap between tuition and the actual costs of running a school. And, it turns out, it's a blast! Where else can you go and find an entire roomful of people you know (or will soon know), all having a great time?
We rely on the support of our parents to make this event successful. From volunteering, to attending, to donating an item, parents are an essential part of this event. And, it’s a great way to get to know our school community!
The FISW auction is usually held in the late fall. This school year, the auction will be on Saturday, December 3 at the Bellevue Hilton. Everyone is welcome!
If you’re a new parent, and aren’t sure how to get involved, there are lots of people around to help. Don’t be afraid to ask your room parent, PTA officer, staff person or any other parent you see. They’d love to help!
If you would like to donate an auction item, advertise in the auction catalog or sponsor our event, please email our Development Director, Jana, at jana@fisw.org or send an email to auction@fisw.org. Thank you for your help!
Class projects are a fun part of the live auction. Every class creates a magical work of art, and parents bid to be the "winner" and take home the project.
