MORE ABOUT HOW YOUR PARTICIPATION HELPS!
The annual Bid 4 Kids auction is our school's largest fundraiser! All money raised goes directly to our Home and School Association for curriculum enhancements including field trips and bussing, STEM, related arts, teacher support and hospitality including birthdays, playground maintenance, class parties, and other identified needs for growth of our school. All of which can be reviewed on our 2023-24 Home and School budget summary found here.
As we approach regionalization, it is important to note that all money raised stays within SFA and will continue to support our students as they grow in their Catholic faith and develop academically. Just your attendance at the event helps financially, plus adds to the overall enjoyment, sense of community and fellowship! Thank you for being part of the SFA community!
