WHAT IS SILENT AUCTION?

Every year in March we are hold our annual Silent Auction in conjunction with the Open House.  This is our biggest and most important fundraiser of the year. 

Every cent raised goes to benefit our children.
Through the generosity of the community we raise over a third of our annual budget.  With the funds generated from this event, we can continue to provide native speaking teaching assistants (adjuncts) and language learning materials to all our classrooms.  This event is extremely popular with El Marino students, their families, teachers, staff and members of the local community. 

Can you help?  No donation is too small. 
We would appreciate any type of goods or services that you have to offer.
