Live Auction

Paddle Raiser

This year we will be doing a Live Auction "Raise the Paddle" to raise funds for the purchase of Imagination Playground Blocks. With a goal of raising $6000, we are hopefull that all students will be able to enjoy these 3D building blocks!

Using Imagination Playground blocks, kids build a new world every day. They make objects like animals, rocket ships and robots. They make imaginary places like houses, factories and cities. They make new dramatic scenarios, settings and games to play. Most important, they make the rules. Because I'magination Playground is child-directed and open-ended, it encourages self-expression through deep, joyful play.

By raising your paddle during the "Raise the Paddle" protion of the live auction you pledge to support the school for the amount of the specified "Raise the Paddle" amount. Unless otherwise noted, payments will be charged to the credit card on file a the end of the auction. All proceeds from the Raise the Paddle go directly to the purchase of the 3-D Imagination Playground Big Blue Block Sets and their storage cards.
