The Governor's Ranch Silent Auction will be held Friday, March 20, 2009. The GRE PTA works hard each year fundraising for the benefit of our school and ultimately our children. Every other year the PTA hosts a Silent Auction to raise funds for the ExCel account, an account set up to aide in field trips, visiting authors, Outdoor Lab, Destination Imagination, Accelerated Reader, and Young Ameritowne, to name a few. The 2007 Silent Auction raised over $35,000 to fund those programs! To pull off a successful Silent Auction it takes many months of planning and organizing. The 2009 Silent Auction committee has put the wheels in motion and we are eagerly signing up volunteers to help make it a booming success! Please consider donating time to this worthwhile and FUN event!
