Special Items and Raffles
Spirit Parties
The ever popular Socialize With Spirit (SWS) Parties will again return for 2019!
This aspect of the event will feature a table of “sign-ups”—events, classes, or parties that auction goers pay a set amount to join. We are looking for hosts willing to share their homes and talents. Whether you host or sign up for an event, you’ll meet new friends from the SWS community and have a great time—and will be benefiting SWS in the process.
Teacher Experiences
For those kids that just can't get enough of their teacher during regular school hours, bid on extracurricular fun with their favorite educator in experiences designed by SWS teachers.
Golden Ticket Raffle
Win the GOLDEN TICKET and you will have FIVE MINUTES to choose ANY item in the Auction (Live or Silent!) to take home, regardless of its value or current bid. ONLY 50 TICKETS AVAILABLE!
The drawing for the GOLDEN TICKET will take place at 8:00 p.m. and you MUST choose your item by 8:05 p.m.
Principal for the Day Raffle
The SWS student of your choice gets to spend the morning in Mr. Burst’s shoes! From helping with curbside drop-off, to managing phone calls, to sitting behind the desk, the student will get a first-hand experience being the principal of our beloved school. Mr. Burst will consult with the student on decisions and ask for ideas for how to improve the student experience. To wrap the morning up, Mr. Burst and the guest principal will walk to a lunch spot and debrief the morning as they nosh.
Classroom projects

Yes, all past alliances are thrown out the window as you need to be the one that places the winning bid for the class project. Whether it's a custom ceramic serving platter, a hand-crafted bird house, a mosaic of paint chips, or various other priceless projects from of our talented SWS students, you will want to be the parent that comes home with the project that your child, and all of their friends, have been working so hard on.
