Description

On March 2, 2024, St. Francis de Sales Parish School will be hosting our largest fundraiser of the year. This year's auction will be a live event with online bidding available for silent auction items. Our goal is to raise $50,000 to support the continued mission of St. Francis de Sales School.

Each year we place our fundraising focus on needs that are most important for the students' learning experience, while balancing support of our teaching staff and maintaining our school building’s day to day operations. The funds raised at this year’s auction will bring much needed technology updates to our building to provide increased safety and security for our students and streamline day-to-day operations. The school needs a new PA system that will allow communication (such as, announcing student names) to happen only inside the building and not outside for neighbors and people passing by to hear. This will come with a new bell system that our middle school students can better hear and utilize, and an integrated synchronized clock system that will keep our school in time. Our hope is to work with Primex, a local company in the Lake Geneva area, to implement this system as soon as possible.

We plan to use additional funds to update teacher classroom desks and chairs - most of which are 15 - 20 years old and are in need of being replaced.

Please consider helping us obtain our goal through a financial sponsorship or donation of an auction item. 100% of the proceeds stay within SFdS school.
