About Our Auction
Our Grade 7 graduates are raising funds to plant a legacy tree (and plaque) on our front lawn. The Grad committee is also raising funds to purchase keepsake gifts for our 30 graduates, since they are not permitted to continue any of our celebratory traditions.
We are thrilled to offer two items designed by Musqueam artists and relatives of current and former Southlands Elementary students:
• the beautiful framed print "Enduring Spirits: Pacific Salmon Forest" donated by Musqueam artist Susan Point, Thomas, Jessica, Summer and Calder Cannell;
• the woven Blanket Bundle "Spirit of the Sky" designed by Master Salish weaver Leila Stogan from the Musqueam Nation, donated by Native Northwest
Thank you to our donors for making this fundraiser possible.
Any funds raised in excess of our expenses, will support our outdoor classroom and garden or FuturePLAY space (wherever funds are needed).
This item will be available to bid online for 18 days: May 14 to June 1 at 2:30 pm. The highest bidders for each item will be announced on our FB page and at school on June 1.
Thank you for supporting our graduates and Southlands Elementary school!
