On Saturday, May 1, 2010 Matthew Turner Elementary School will host its Annual Dinner, Dance and Auction, There's No Place Like Home. In keeping with Matthew Turner Going Green the theme for this year's auction event is the ever fantastic Wizard of Oz. Enjoy one of the year's largest and most successful gala events. Doors open at 5:00 p.m. when guests can enjoy themed drinks and tasty appetizers while the Silent Auction begins. Dinner and the Live Auction follow and then we celebrate with dessert and dancing 9:30-midnight.

This event is the school's largest fund raiser each year. The auction boasts over 250 items; guests can bid on anything from gift certificates to local restaurants, professional services, and health and beauty to vacation packages and weekend getaways.

A WORTHY CAUSE

On any given day at Matthew Turner Elementary School, you'll discover budding artists creating masterpieces, future scientists or notice the smiling faces of our students as they are encouraged to become original thinkers, to discover their unique voices, and to soar. There are few causes as worthy as education. Matthew Turner Elementary School is poised to set the stage for developing the leaders of tomorrow.

Your support of our annual auction will help sorely under-funded enrichment programs such as art programs, academic assemblies, computer equipment and some basic audio/visual equipment. Our students are natural multi-taskers, fluent in technologies undreamed of a generation ago. Classroom technology such as computers and audio/visual equipment enable our students to learn with a global perspective. All proceeds go directly to our school to fund programs that enhance our children's education.

If you would like to donate and/or sponsor the auction or have another idea or question, please send an email.
