You’re #1 –  Peabody parents, faculty, staff, students, community friends, and adopters!

The baskets this year were creative and quite tempting…

In fact, last year… our first silent auction raised $2,800.  We thought that was fantastic.  

So how much did the 2011 Silent Auction raise?  We raised $3,300!!  That’s a whole lot of competitive bidding for just a few hours! 

Many, many thanks to all of our Midtown businesses and restaurants for their constant genorosity. 

And, of course, to our school Adopter, Central BBQ, for donating that delicious BBQ dinner. They made it easy to start bidding wars on bellies filled with yummy pulled pork, slaw and beans!

To wrap it up – many thanks to the Peabody parents, faculty and staff who made this night possible. Special shout out to PTA mom Kate Lareau for chairing this fun event!

Go Eagles!
