 We are less than 4 weeks from the return of the Clermont Elementary PTA Silent Auction!!!! The event will be held at the beautiful ALX atrium in Alexandria (on the corner of Washington and Duke Streets) on Saturday March 9th at 6:00pm! There will be a live band (Diplomatic Immunity), plenty of delicious food and great drinks. The PTA Silent Auction is one of our largest fundraising events of the year. It allows the PTA to sponsor a vast number of programs throughout the year that benefit ALL Clermont students, including Enrichment Programs, School Field Trips, Classroom Instructional Supplies, New Technology, Assemblies, and more. There is lots of excitement from teachers and parents and it looks to be another great event! Please click on the "Tickets" tab in the link to purchase your pass to this event and let the good times roll!

FAQs
What is a Silent On-line Auction?
A Silent On-line Auction is a fundraising event where the bidding and direct purchases are done electronically on your phone until the bidding closes. A link to the bidding site will be sent to you after you register for the Auction.
How Can I help make the auction a success?
If you have season tickets to sporting events or the arts (plays, ballets, etc..), you can donate those items to be bid on! In addition, if you own a time share or vacation home you could donate this as a live auction item. Do you have unused gift cards lying around? Those help too! If you are interested in donating, please email Auction@clermontpta.org or drop off items to the front office.
Do I have to dress up?
This year’s event theme is a Mardi Gras Theme. Feel free to come comfortable or dress up. No dress code required.
What type of Items will be Auctioned?
Items in the past have included restaurant gift cards, tickets to a play, massages, fitness classes, adventure passes, vacation packages, just to name a few. The Auction will also offer Teacher/Clermont Experiences, and Socials.
What are Parent Socials and Children Activities?
They are events hosted by a Clermont family/supporter where a specified number of “tickets” are sold at the auction at a set price on a first come basis. Hosts set the details/themes of the event and may contribute the costs of the event, so that full ticket price from the Social is donated to the Clermont PTA. Often times, Parent Socials and Children Activities have multiple hosts to share the costs of the event. In the past, there has usually been at least one Social/Activity offered per grade level (i.e. 2nd Grade Moms, 5th Grade Dads, Kindergarten Parents, 3rd Grade Boys Basketball, 1st Grade Paint and Popsicles). These Socials & Activities are an excellent opportunity to meet and get to know better other students or parents at Clermont Elementary School. Would you like to donate a social or activity? Please use this form.
Deadline to Submit Items, Experiences and Socials is 2/21/24!
