Desert Fundraiser

One night every quarter or semester our school puts on a "talent show" presenting plays they've worked on, or musical acts ect. At intermission all the attendants go to a Desert Auction- they can bid on donated items from the faculty, parents, students and maybe even board members, the students can even bid on something they want (things donated such as artwork, gift baskets, community service form students and staff, gift certificates, tickets to some show, books, and other misc. items- the kids even have fun donating items to see other people bid on them- especially if the art teacher has the students paint a terracotta pot or a picture) They can also purchase a desert item that was donated "cookies, bread- cinnamon rolls are a big hit) This raised at least a few thousand dollars every year for our school (and we only have 200 students- so it's a great fundraiser!!!)
