I am contacting businesses to request a gift card or age appropriate item (11-13 years old) to be donated for this year's auction which will be held as Silent Auctions with students having 3 weeks to bid before winners are selected. The first auction is to end January 27, 2022 and then the next round will begin, ending 3 weeks later. I will have a total of 7 Silent Auctions to round out the 2nd Semester. This auction is open to 4 classes of 7th graders and approximately 100 students.

How the Auction works: I get donated or I personally purchase enough items so every student has the opportunity to bid and buy at least 1 item. Students earn Witherspoon dollars throughout the semester to bid on items in the Silent Auction. This will be my 7th year sponsoring an Auction. Students are able to earn the Witherspoon dollard for coming to school prepared to learn, have their assignments completed/attempted, be prepared for tests, respect every student's opportunity to learn, and generally be a good citizen. Students do not have to be the top students to earn dollars, I do not pay for grades, just come to school with a willingness to learn.

Any items can be mailed to the school address or would be willing to pick up if with in 30 mile radius of Ozark Missouri.

The school is Public Edication and has tax exempt with 501(c)3 status
