An ARTrageous Evening

This year's Auction celebrated the making of masterpieces - our children and their artwork. We hope you enjoyed your evening honoring our young apprentices!

On behalf of the entire auction committee, we would like to thank everyone for their amazing support at this year's auction! We truly had an Artrageous Evening!! The Clariden School is the true winner of our auction; the proceeds from this year's auction will be used in so many ways: a phenomenal amount of classroom materials, a new shade structure to cover the playground, enhancements to the music department, classroom expansion, faculty training, the list goes on! So thank you all for your support and your commitment to your children's education. We are truly grateful for all you did!

This year's proceeds will assist the Music Department, facility expansion, classroom materials, and staff development. As an added bonus, Louis and Pieter Andries stirred up the crowd and pulled at our heartstrings to entice us to raise $8900 for a new shade structure over the playground!	Look for our new shade in January!
