Why an Auction?
Eastgate Elementary School is a great example of the importance of community, administration, faculty, and parent involvement in the success of educating our children. The PTA funds many key school programs including technology, classroom supplies, assemblies, filed trips, after school activities, math and literacy facilitation and so much more. Your support of PTA provided funds is critical to maintaining Eastgate Elementary School’s level of excellence. The school's auction has historically been the PTA's biggest fundraising event. Our goal for the 2012 “Spread your Wings and Fly” Auction event is to continue that success.
Eastgate PTA Programs Include:
• Art Docent • Back-to-School And School Spirit Events • Classroom Grants • Communication including Eastgate Star eNews, the PTA Website (www.eastgatepta.org) and the Talon • Grade level activities (Toymaker Workshop , Roots of Empathy • 5th Grade Marine Field Trip • Multi-Cultural Week • Library books • PNB 4th Grade Residency Program • Reflections (National Arts Program) • School Pictures and Yearbook • Talent Show • Visiting Instructor Program (VIP) • Science Fair • Science on Wheels • Young Author’s Day • And many more....Get Involved

BUS STOP BASKETS!

Help a neighboring school....
There are three schools that are also having their auctions this year. Volunteering at a neighboring school provides a first hand look at how auctions are done as well as allows our fellow elementary PTAs the ability to enjoy their own functions.
