What is the money used for?

The annual Gates auction is the most significant fundraiser for the school. The goal is to raise more than $30,000 to pay for salaries for over 50 teacher assistant hours, as well as librarian and technology assistant hours, and cultural events during the year. Without contributions from our school community, these services will not be provided the following year as they are not funded by the school district.

How can I help?

There are many ways to support the auction. The Gates School PTO would like to thank Staples, our 2011 Auction Platinum Sponsor, and Roche Bros., our Gold Sponsor, for their generous support! If you'd like to help or for more information, please contact Elizabeth Bruce or Michele Kenerson at gatesauction@yahoo.com. Thanks and we hope to see you there!
