Dear Bancroft Elementary Community,

We are so excited to share that the 2023 auction was a huge success – together we raised over $63,000 for our school! Our first in-person gala since 2019 was a sold out event with parents, staff and friends of Bancroft dressed to the nines in their 1920s fabulous attire. Thank you to everyone for your generosity, enthusiasm, and for making this event a huge success!

For those who attended and those who may have missed it, you can reminisce over the fun event photos here at Bancroft Gala Auction| Roaring 20s.

The money we raised on behalf of the Bancroft PFC will help fund many things that make Bancroft great, including our instructional assistants, the garden program, STEAM Lab, Art Appreciation, teacher materials, family events like Fall Fest, Multicultural Night, movie nights, the upcoming Bancroft Talent Show, and so much more. We are especially grateful for the strong support shown for this year’s Fund-A-Need project: a new digital marquee sign.

We still have a few items available to bid on or buy, including some great donations that missed the cut-off for our online auction or the gala. You can bid on them here in our “flash auction”, which will close at 9pm on Monday, May 1st.

Lastly, if you had an amazing time and would like to see the auction return next year, your help is needed! If you’d like to get involved in planning next year’s gala, please email Dory Barnard at dd_50199@yahoo.com. The committee is forming now so don't miss out on being part of next year’s gala!

Yours truly,
