Teacher Silent Auction is Live!

Hello WHECES Families!

As you may know, we kept with tradition and held our beloved Teacher Auction at this year's Fall Festival, whereby parents could put in their highest bid for their child to attend a special activity with their teacher, such as lunch, crafts, etc. We are excited to announce that we are extending the bidding on the Teacher Auction online for those who may not have had the opportunity to do so at the festival. Please note that if you already put in a bid at the festival, those winners are being honored and contacted.

Place your highest bid at the following link: https://forms.gle/83FrvZGxTswaBogK7

Bids will be accepted until 11:59 PM Pacific Time TODAY, Sunday, December 4, 2022. Bids entered after this time will not be accepted. The minimum bid dollar amount must be $50.00. Bids will be confidential and not seen by other bidders so ensure you are placing your highest bid. Bidders who bid the highest dollar amount per Teacher Auction will be the winners and fill the remaining spots available per teacher activity. Please ensure that you are filling out all information fields accurately within your online bid. Inaccurate information may be deemed as a disqualification. Please note that bidding on the Teacher Auction is completely voluntary.

HERO

We STILL NEED OUR HEROes!!!!!!

The HERO campaign continues and there hasn’t been much movement in the last few weeks so I really need your help….we still haven’t reached our goal of 100% participation in classrooms and I still have tons of HERO shirts waiting to be given to students who haven’t yet contributed to the HERO campaign, I still have magnets who are looking for a home and we still don’t have 100% from all our WHECES families.  We still haven’t reached our goal of $150,000……please help us reach our goals….I know it can be done! I just know it!

Every dollar raised goes back to our school and benefits every student.  Every. Single. One.

Please donate to HERO using the online form listed below or fill out the attached form and turn it in to your classroom OR drop it off your form/payment in the HERO BASKET located in the office (please do not place it in the red PATT box).  

https://www.mypatt.org/hero-campaign

OR you can donate (in one lump sum only) via VENMO at @patt-team.  Please be sure to include “HERO”, your child’s name/teacher, and shirt size in the comments section.  

Please be sure to have your child wear their HERO shirt (not to be confused with Spirit Wear shirts) EVERY Friday for HERO FRIDAYS!

If you have ANY questions, please contact me at  wheceshero@gmail.com. 

We appreciate you and your support and thank you for Helping Education Remain Outstanding!
