We’ll See You at Spring Forward March 16;
Online Auction Runs March 17- April 6
Root for an old favorite taking the field or try an art class for the first time. You’ll have the chance to browse and bid on event tickets, restaurants, spa days, and vacation getaways in a secure and simple silent-bidding format
directly from the Ravenswood School website. That’s right–we’re launching Ravenswood’s first-ever online accompaniment to our Spring Forward Celebration and Auction. That means there’s more than one way to participate.
The big event takes place at DANK Haus in Lincoln Square (4740 N. Western) this Saturday, March 16, from 6:30 to 11 p.m. That night you won’t want to miss our “Black & White for Green” celebration featuring live music, gourmet food, and just for fun–adult snow cones and a retro photo booth. You’ll hear an important message from school leadership and have the opportunity to bid on premium sporting events and services, one-of-a-kind student art, teacher-student experiences, and other select auction items.
The fun and fundraising does not end there.
Online bidding on a hundred-plus great items begins in the early hours of March 17 and runs through April 6, the week after students return from Spring Break. Simply visit the
school website and click on the auction button. Importantly, share that link with friends, family, neighbors and co-workers.
With this new, expanded format, we’re bringing you convenience (bid any hour of the day; use your tablet; maybe ring up far-away friends and go for the big vacation home). And you’re bringing the hard-working students of Ravenswood Elementary much-needed funds to keep our fine arts-focused, diverse public school growing and thriving!
