In the realm of Auction parties,
Thanks to Jill & Angie, there are now 20 compelling parent-hosted and teacher-hosted sign-up events ( a new record ) and whose total potential value is $21,000.
 
Parties include Capture the Flag, Nerf-style with Tim Ogburn, and a soccer and pizza-making party with Coach Michael and Aiai Winoto, 
(plus, Aiai made this gorgeous sign to remind parents to bring a bottle of wine for the Wine Raffle.)

Auction
With Elena's leadership, Marta McLeod, Kelly Marston, Michele Eisenberg and Nisha Mody have brought in all sorts of great items for the auction.

Hank (the Not-Tin-eared Man) took a large gift of premium guitar strings and crafted multiple sale-able lots.

Meanwhile, Sarah Clegg and Tracey Rogers put on their writer's caps to craft witty descriptions of more than 15 themed baskets and the parties.

Gate Sales 
will begin this Tuesday, including Principal for the Day Raffle, headed up by Karen Zukor
 
Live Auction
The courageous lion John Chakan is gearing up for his premier auctioneering gig for BPC, and the slate of items includes such past successes as a Behind-the-Scenes Pixar Tour, a Private Vintner Dinner, and 20 hand-selected, faculty-favorite children's books.

Carla Koren & Neal Parish have stepped up to lead the Auction close-out (accompanied by Cary Whitney on Chromebook).

And though it's his first year with the Extended Day Program, Mr. Mack has stepped up to lead the Childcare.

I'm sure I missed many of you... thank you all for all of your work, named and unnamed, thanked and thankless!
