HEADING TO THE AUCTION?
Speed up the check in process (and help us plan)!
Heading to the auction party on March 14th?! Read on!
Drink tickets are the ONLY way to buy alcoholic beverages on the night of the auction. It is a NO CASH BAR. So speed up your check in process, and/or avoid having to track down one of our Drink Ticket Volunteers throughout the night, and get started by buying some drink tickets via our Online Catalog.
SEE YOU ON MARCH 14th!!

HELP SUPPORT THE AUCTION WINE CELLAR
We rely on donated wine to stock our Auction Party Wine Cellar and help make the event a success!
We are looking to collect a wide range of wine (red, white, rosé, and bubbly!) for our guests to enjoy. We tier our wine cellar at the auction, so to better match our donations to that experience, we kindly request a minimum price per bottle of $20. We are also hoping to collect some high-end bottles to generate extra excitement! This is a great way to support the school and auction, even if you’re not attending the party event.
DROP OFF YOUR DONATIONS:
When: Tuesday, February 25th 7:30-8:30am
or Wednesday, February 26th, 4-8pm
Where: The Sill Home - 159 Venado Corte
Thank YOU!!!

Have you donated to the JAGUAR FUND?
The suggested donation for the 2024-2025 school year is $65 per month or a one-time donation of $650, per child.
The Jaguar Fund is the Parent Faculty Club’s primary source of funds to bridge the gap between public funding and the true cost of our children’s education at Walnut Acres.
Anyone that donates will receive a Walnut Acres Adventures Awaits car magnet showing their support!
Our Goal is 100% Participation. Understanding that every family situation is different, the goal of the Jaguar Fund is 100% Participation, regardless of the dollar amount. No amount is too small, and every dollar will make a difference for our school.
Please donate by clicking the LINK HERE!
