Bay Haven's Holiday Auction

Happy Holidays! Enjoy shopping for the holidays as well as supporting Bay Haven Elementary school! 100% of the proceeds will be given back to our teachers, staff and students.

Opened in 1926, the school has a rich history and is Sarasota County's only school recognized nationally as a “Blue Ribbon School” and has been a “Five Star School” for twenty-four (24) years running. In our twenty-sixth year as Sarasota County's only magnet elementary school, our program was developed emphasizing a back-to-basics approach with strong discipline, contracts for parents, students, and staff; and some program offerings not available in other Sarasota Schools. The Bay Haven School of Basics Plus is based on the premise that all students can grow academically, physically, and emotionally in a highly structured environment.
