Annual Fundraising Auction 2010
"The Pike Place Market" at Montlake: Fresh, Locally Grown Minds

April 29, 2010 Update

Congratulations Montlake School, on an auction well done! 


A fun night was had by all.  A special thank you to all our volunteers and to all who came out to support our teachers, programs and students. 


Also, a special thank you to a few local businesses who were big sponsors of our event:   Wells Fargo Advisors LLC, generously covered the cost of printing for our catalog, and Jack’s Fish Spot at Pike Place Market, generously donated the fresh shrimp cocktail and house-smoked salmon for our appetizer table.  Please see the auction catalog for a complete list of all businesses and families that donated to help our school.


There are a few lost and found items to mention as well:  two umbrellas, a watch, a woman’s hat, a child’s blanket, a white hoodie sweater.

Any of these sound familiar, please contact one of us. 


Thanks for making our auction a great community event!

2010 Montlake Auction Co-chairs

The Auction raises over 50% of the PTA budget.  It has been successful over the years with generous donations by the Montlake parents, community, and local businesses.  At Montlake Elementary we love to support our local businesses, too. This year we are offering Sponsorship levels for this event (please view the Sponsorship Form for more information).

The Auction is not only a significant source of income, it is also a wonderful venue to get to know other Montlake parents and teachers, in a very fun and festive environment. 

The event has historically broken down into a number of parts:
  • Silent Auction - Write your bid number down on bid sheets and see if anyone will out-bid you or you will out-bid them!
  • Dinner - Delicious dinner is catered... but you have to earn your dessert at the Dessert Dash!
  • Raffle - Fun themes involving raffles
  • Dessert Dash - Each table has to bid for a dessert they see on the dessert table.  There's some fierce competition to be seen here.
  • Games - We've traditionally played, Heads & Tails.  It is so much fun to play and watch!
  • Live Auction - This takes place during dinner and dessert.  The auctioneer will facilitate the sale of one-of-a-kind classroom art projects, weekend get-aways, scrumptious dinners prepared by Montlake parents, etc.
Thank you,
PTA Board
