Silent Auction Donation Ideas

The annual auction is our biggest fundraiser of the year, and this year it is being completely reimagined! 

It will still involve a silent auction, and we rely on the generosity local businesses and our community of families to make that happen. 

Do you work for a company that could donate goods, services, or event tickets? Does your family have season sports or theater tickets and the ability to miss one home game or show? Can you think of a place that might not be on our radar? Please let us know! 

There is another way you can help. If you have a passion or skill to share, we encourage you to donate your time. Examples:

  • Tasting night - are you an avid wine collector? Beer brewer? Bourbon drinker? Have the highest bidders come over and enjoy your beverage collection.
  • Craft class - are you a crafter or knitter? Provide supplies and knowledge and host a how-to class for adults. 
  • Poker night - do you have chips, cards, and a love of gambling? Host winning bidders for a poker game.
  • Nature hike - if you enjoy the outdoors you can offer a guided group hike or bike ride. 

We are happy to help you work out the details. Email CHEAuctionDonations@gmail.com with your ideas!

Join a Capitol Hill PTA Meeting

The Capitol Hill PTA is a wonderful group of parents and school staff who oversee almost every event that our students enjoy! 

The PTA meets monthly. Meetings are hosted by the board, and open to all parents and Capitol Hill staff. Each meeting has a guest speaker or topic of the month, and is a great chance to ask questions, meet other families, and learn about the work we are doing to raise funds for our teachers and school. You do not need to be a paying member to join a meeting. 

Upcoming meetings: 

January 8

February 5

March 12

April 9

May 14

5:30pm - 6:30pm in the Capitol Hill Library. If you're unable to attend in person, a Zoom link is sent the week of the meeting. All are welcome.
