Gala MontRoyale’s Silent Auction Classroom Contest

This is the final week for the Gala MontRoyale Silent Auction Classroom Contest.  Please get your donations into the office with your child’s name and division number clearly labelled and be sure to enter your auction item in the spreadsheet here.  We’d love to add a Whistler cabin or other travel prizes to the kitty. Does anyone have one to donate for a weekend?  Dropping off a couple of bottles of wine for the auction is also a simple way to contribute. 

Help your child’s class win a pizza party and more importantly raise funds for new school laptops.  Click HERE for more details on how you can contribute.
