217's Spring Auction is right around the corner and is historically our biggest fundraising event of the school year. Funds raised help us purchase technology, teacher training seminars, enrichment for our students (dance and music classes), outfit our new rooftop garden, and more. Our auction goes LIVE April 1!

DONATE AN AUCTION ITEM: Have a weekend home you can offer a getaway? Work in TV or theater and can offer tickets and backstage tour? Tickets to a sporting event? Are you a photographer and can offer a photo package? Jewelry maker? Own or know someone that owns a restaurant, or business and can provide a gift card? Language lessons? -- or maybe you can help with outreach?

Please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions or would like to volunteer your time by emailing us at pta217auction2gmail.com.
