AUCTION: Leopards Through the Looking Glass
Curiouser and curiouser!
The Lafayette Elementary School PTA's annual auction is fast approaching and we need YOUR help to make it a mad success.
This year's auction, "Leopards Through the Looking Glass" will take place on Saturday, April 25, 2026 at the Brockey Center on the South Seattle College campus.
But to make it work, we need YOU!
We are seeking volunteers to assist with the lead up to our silent and live auctions in April, as well as at the live auction event. Whether you have a few hours or a few weeks to spare, there are auction committee positions for all types of volunteers.
Please consider signing up for a committee to help bring whimsy and magic to this incredibly important fundraiser.
Volunteer Interest Form: https://forms.gle/wbsAeMWLva8M9XEN7
If you are unable to serve on a committee, you can still help us make this event a success!
We are currently looking for donations for our silent and live auctions.
Do you own a vacation home we can auction off for a weekend?
Do you have connections with a local business who might be interested in donating items or services?
Are you a business owner who would like to sponsor our event or make an in-kind donation?
Reach out to this year's Auction Co-Chairs (Nikki Rice & Arianna Gervasio) at fundraising@lafayettepta.com for more information.
(For those who are brave enough to follow us down the rabbit hole, tickets to Leopards Through the Looking Glass will go on sale soon. Stay tuned.)
See you in Wonderland!

MAT Movie Day @ the Admiral!
Our All School Movie Field Trip to Admiral is coming up on Nov. 19th!
To celebrate our students' hard work and success of surpassing our goal for our Move-A-Thon, we will be taking an ALL SCHOOL field trip over to the Admiral Theater for a movie party. The students will be voting on a selection of movies: G Rated for grades K-3, PG for grades 4-5.
We need volunteers to help get our kids down to the theater, snacks handed out and safely back to school after the show. We need A LOT of parent help to make this work. But this can't happen without your help! We need at least two volunteers per grade plus volunteers to pass out snacks and help students find seats.
