Successful Night at Bluegrass
As usual, the live auction was a nail-biter! Attendees battled to win popular items as the numbers climbed higher and higher. Mr. Williams and his crew kept things rolling swiftly, and by the end of the night, pockets were a little bit lighter.
Mingling and conversations continued throughout the evening. Joy and generosity filled the room, and our sweet school will reap all of the rewards.
From the very bottom of my heart, I want to thank all of the donors and attendees who made the event possible and successful. Thank you to our PTO. The countless hours that our amazing parents have spent have not gone unnoticed. Organizing, scheduling, collecting, transporting, decorating, planning, and encouraging are what you do so well behind the scenes. Because of your dedication to the students of JAE, we are well on our way to having one of the most incredible fundraisers on record.
