2nd Annual Rock N' Brew Silent Auction

The goal of the 2nd annual event is to upgrade technology offerings, as well as enhance the School’s library and music programs. St. Paul School owns 27 Acer Netbooks operating on Windows 7 via an annual licensing agreement that are available for student use in the classroom. The Netbooks are operating at maximum capacity (2GB RAM) such that further upgrades are impossible. The School also owns 21 refurbished HP Elite Book computers. The computers were purchased in 2015 and utilize Windows 7 that is expected to be unsupportable in 2020. Further, battery life of the computers is limited to approximately 1 hour. The School library is sufficient for fictional purposes, yet was last updated in the early 1990’s with regards to non-fiction publications. Lastly, the music program at St. Paul is in need of instruments, sheet music, and technology to aid in the cultural development of St. Paul students. All monies earned through the 2nd Annual Rock-N-Brew event will have the specific purpose of enriching the St. Paul mission via the aforementioned avenues.

The online auction will transition to the Live Rock N' Brew Event. You need not be present to win the auction. If you are the highest online bidder when the online auction ends and remain the highest bidder at the live auction's end at 9:00 pm on September 30, you will be the winner and will need to submit money online or remit a check to the school the following week.

Have fun shopping and bidding!
