Capilano Elementary 2024 Spring Fundraiser

Capilano's annual Spring fundraiser and silent auction is back! We are so grateful and fortunate for the many donors that have generously provided items, services, gift cards, and TIME to make this year's auction a sure to be success.

As always raised funds will be used to enrich our children’s school experience. This year we are raising money to upgrade the school LIBRARY into a dynamic learning space, benefiting the education and growth of our children.
