Saint Joseph School Holding Annual Basket Raffle and Auction

Visit https://go.rallyup.com/sjsclassroombasketraffle for more info

 

St. Joseph School Baltic is a small pre-k through 8th grade parochial school that educates and prepares children for high school and life by providing an excellent academic curriculum; a true spirit of charity, kindness, and acceptance; Gospel values; all within a fun, family environment.

Our school’s major fundraiser is a Christmas Extravaganza, which is a basket raffle & live auction that will be held both virtual and in person.

Our Classroom Baskets will be available online at https://go.rallyup.com/sjsclassroombasketraffle from Monday November 8 to Friday December 3.

The in-person event will be held at St Michael’s Center, School Hill Road, Baltic on Saturday December 4th at 6pm. All online basket raffle entries will be combined with in person entries, with all winners drawn that evening.

In addition to Classroom Baskets and unique baskets to help supplement art supplies, drama costumes, and replenish our school nurse’ supplies, the in-person event will also have a good number of themed baskets up for grabs, thanks to local and regional businesses and St. Joseph School families.

In addition, a live auction will be held that boasts skybox seats, handcrafted Adirondack chairs and birdhouses, computer system, and even a weekend getaway.

Foregoing a dinner due to COVID-19 protocols, we will have OneLove: Rolling Cookshed for patrons to purchase a meal and snacks.

All proceeds from this raffle will go directly to the school, specifically to each classroom, to purchase upgraded computer and technology systems and software tools for enhanced learning, to sponsor children on field trips (we can hopefully have this year), and classroom pizza parties to bring a little fun back into school.

We sincerely thank you for your support – and good luck!
