UPDATED! Bidding will open March 21st after school and will remain open until March 24th at 12:00pm. Because this auction is open throughout the week and most families will not be present when bidding closes at noon on Friday, we are asking bidders to place a secret bid using a ballot box. This way everyone has a fair chance regardless of what time their Student Led Conference is scheduled. Who? Every student in Belfast will have had their hands on one of the pieces up for auction. They’ve worked with their classmates to create a one-of-a-kind collaborative art piece. We’ve also had several items donated from generous friends and families of Belfast. Why? To raise money for Parent Council and The Make A Wish Foundation. Parent Council will be using the funds raised to purchase Art Supplies for our school. We honestly can never have enough art supplies! Also, several students in the We Care Club have been learning about health issues and feel strongly about making a sick child’s wish come true. When? Early bird bidding will be held on: March 21 from 3:00 pm - 3:30 pm March 22 from 3:00 pm - 3:30 pm Regular bidding held on: March 23 10:00 am -7:00 pm March 24 9:00 am - 12:00 pm Where? In the hallway by the gym How? Next to each item, you will find a ballot box and bid sheets. You are asked to place your bid and put it in the box. The highest bid will win. Since the bidding process is secret, you will need to make your bid count and consider the highest amount you're willing to donate. All bids will need to be unique to ensure we don’t have two bids of the same amount. Have fun with your bid and ensure it includes dollars and cents. For example, instead of bidding $40.00 try something more interesting like $41.67. This way no two bids will be the same!
