Description

The Around the World Gala Auction is an exciting opportunity for families, teachers, and friends to come together outside of the classroom in a fun and relaxed atmosphere. Set for February 8, 2025, at the historic Hollywood Schoolhouse in Woodinville, this event will celebrate the rich diversity of our community and create lasting connections across cultures and backgrounds.

To honor the cultural diversity within our school, we encourage guests to wear their cultural dress and participate in a special activity—pinning their spot on our world map to share where they are from. This interactive experience will help highlight and celebrate the many unique traditions and backgrounds that make our community so special.

As one of the core goals of the Parent Association, this event is an opportunity to bring our families closer together while raising funds to support school initiatives, including classroom parties and cultural events that enrich the student experience.

The evening will feature:

A Live Auction, with unique items and experiences up for bid.
A Parallel Online Auction, allowing those unable to attend in person to participate and bid on exclusive items.
A Raise the Paddle segment, led by a professional auctioneer, offering guests the opportunity to make direct contributions to support our school’s programs.
This event promises to be a vibrant celebration of global traditions, with food and drinks from around the world. It’s a perfect chance to relax, connect, and contribute to the continued growth of our school community.
