Description

St. John’s has been serving students in the western and northwestern Chicago suburban area for over 150 years.  We provide a high-quality education in a Christian setting for students in grades PK through eight.  While the major portion of expenses is received from tuition paid by parents and from congregational support, the school must raise a portion each year through special projects, such as our annual auction.

This year’s theme is “FOOTPRINTS IN THE SAND.”  We are looking forward to meeting in person this year, and our auction will be held at St. John’s School April 30th at 6:30pm.

We are soliciting donations from merchants and individuals in the form of merchandise or gift cards/certificates suitable for a school auction.  Gifts, gift certificates, services, or cash donations are all welcome donations and play an important role in the success of the event.  All proceeds go directly to benefit the students of St. John’s Lutheran School.  We would appreciate the collection of any donations no later than Monday, April 25th.

Thank you for considering our request!  Donors have found participation in this event a gratifying way to invest in the future of the students and the school.  It is also an excellent marketing tool, as the auction draws a large number of people from the surrounding communities.  For more information please contact the school office.  We look forward to your participation!
