Parents Night Out & Staff AuctionSave the date for our 2026 Parents Night Out & Teacher Experience Auction. This auction takes place every other year to preserve staff commitments and their generous time, so you won't want to miss what they "donate"! Teachers and staff lean into their hobbies, interests, and areas of expertise to come up with fun experiences to share with students. Past items have included after school cooking lessons, librarian for a day, personal training sessions, and more. While the auction will take place online, several items will be available for in-person bidding only, so get that sitter lined up! Thursday, November 12
