Adkins Elementary PTA Auction

Help Adkins PTA fulfill our 2019 goals, including:
• An additional water bottle filling station
• Electricity and a sound system for our outdoor learning center making it a more interactive learning area and available for outdoor plays and performances
• Upgrading the sound system in the cafeteria
• Provide programs for students and parents
• Provide author visits (in person and/or via videoconference) to all grades
• Continue the scholarship program to ensure every student can participate in activities (field trips, camp, receive a yearbook, etc.)

And fund the goals for 2019/2020 which will be determined by Adkins PTA in conjunction with administration and teachers.

However, our school’s motto is Learn – Connect – Serve. So, when we launched our online auction fundraiser in 2018, we incorporated the “serve” part of that motto into our efforts!
 
Our inaugural fundraiser not only provided money to support the programs and activities at our school but allowed us to provide $3500 in Spanish books to a sister elementary school – another school in our district with a smaller PTA and in desperate need of Spanish books in their classroom.

This year – with your help – we hope to do even more.

Our goal is to raise $10,000 – of which we will donate at least 25% to another school in need. Working with our school administration, we will select a school that is truly in need of library books, PE equipment, musical instruments, or other needs that would enhance their students’ learning experience.

This auction supports exact and proxy bids.

This auction has "extended bidding" enabled. The Extended Bidding feature automatically extends the end time of an item by 3 minutes when it receives a bid during the final 3 minutes. This allows bidders to relax during the end of an auction knowing they'll have time to enter a new bid if they're outbid in the final 3 minutes, making it easier to maintain their lead on one or more items.

The online auction starts at 8:00 AM on October 9 and closes at 9:00 PM on October 20. Auction items will be on display at the Casino Night, and online bidding will continue throughout the event.

You do not have to attend the event to continue bidding or to win auction items.

Items will be available for pick up at Casino Night (October 20 at Circle R Ranch) or on a pick up date (TBA) at Adkins Elementary.

Any items containing alcohol will be available for off-campus pick up.

Payment may be made online at the close of the auction, or paid by check at the time of pick up (payable to Adkins PTA).

Shipping is not available for any items.

Item number and proof of purchase is required (receipt and driver's license/ID).
