Description

Our auction party and live auction will be held on Friday, November 10. 2023 at the Dallas Country Club, with the silent auction running simultaneously online and closing the next day. We host 350 parents from Armstrong Elementary in Highland Park ISD (K-4th). The event historically sells out. Our auction aims to raise crucial funds for our elementary school that can stay 100% within our school. Despite being one of the wealthier school districts in Texas, due to state recapture laws our school district is forced to send over $100 million dollars annually back to the State of Texas to redistribute to lower income schools. This leaves our schools in a budget deficit and unable to operate at the peak performance we know and love. As a result we rely heavily on family and community partner donations and support to provide our students, teachers, and administrative staff at Armstrong the best platform for academic success and fund programs that we would otherwise be unable to afford.
