Trailwood Auction - #TrailwoodStrong
     Our annual school auction will be held on Saturday, February 27, 2021.  This year's event will still go on but it will look different.  This year's Auction (#TrailwoodStrong) will be going virtual!  It will be an evening that is delightful, charming and fun.  An array of items, such as a takeout dinner, wine/beer, gift bags and more are being designed to create a special evening for you to be able to enjoy from the safety and comfort of your own home.
     The auction funds over 50 programs to enrich the educational experience of our students and provide support for Trailwood staff. Proceeds support cultural arts programs, school field trips, teacher stipends, community events, and enhanced learning experiences throughout the year.  We look forward to continuing a strong fundraising legacy in 2021.

Item Donations
     One of the major contributions parents, grandparents, and our community make to the auction is through the donation of items that we will be auctioning off during the live and silent auctions. We are currently seeking these donations, but many people are not sure what exactly to donate. We’ve provided some ideas below. If you have an item(s)/service(s) you would like to donate, please fill out the form below or contact Karen Badgett.
