                                       St. John Neumann Catholic School Newsletter
                                       As an authentically Catholic community, we welcome and value each person's giftedness while
                                       inspiring growth in Truth, Wisdom, Faith & Virtue. We exemplify Christ's love in service to others.

THE AUCTION IS COMING!
THE AUCTION IS COMING!
Have the kids been talking about all the things they
have seen this week? From the Super Mario Bros. Legos
to the Kate Spade purses, we have been blessed with
amazing donations that will surely translate into
financial support for our students and the mission and
ministry of SJNCS.
The auction will start at 9AM on Wednesday and
conclude at 9PM on Friday. Even if you don't bid on a
single item, you can certainly help the cause by telling
friends and family about the auction and sharing all
posts on social media. We will start previewing items
and baskets daily on Facebook so share those posts with
your network!!
You can also make the most of the fun by hosting your
own watch party next Friday night with your circle of
friends. Go out or stay in, just make sure your phone
battery is fully charged so you can keep hitting "increase
bid" or watch to see what items are caught in fierce
bidding wars!
Let the fun begin! And remember... it's for the kids:)

Peace & Blessings,
Kyla
