Auction News
If you have not yet completed your reservations, please do so ASAP. We hope to see you at this fun and exciting event, which is so important to our school and its students.
Thank You
To those who have donated items and baskets for the silent and live auction! You can still send in your donations of beer, liquor, and mixed drink components to the school office (via an adult) for the Cooler of Spirits.
We are in need of more VOLUNTEERS to help set up the hall the night before the auction (Friday night, Nov. 13th). We need to be able to plan our thoughts and assign you a specific task, so please let Mary Boehne know if you can help out. We also have a few more shifts for volunteers to sell raffle tickets during the auction on Saturday, Nov. 14th. This is a fun and easy job that we do in shifts. It doesn’t take all night, and you can do it with a friend. If you can help, please contact Jessica Runnalls or Kat Marchetti. Thank you!
Congratulations
SSPP 8th grade girls won the Consolation Championship at the Althoff Feeder Tournament by defeating St. John Neumann by a score of 27-13.
