 The highly popular Clermont Elementary PTA Silent Auction will return in 2025, and we are going back to the 80s!!!! The event will once again be held at the beautiful ALX atrium in Alexandria (on the corner of Washington and Duke Streets) on Saturday, March 8th at 6:00 pm! 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. Please click on the "Tickets" tab to purchase your pass to this event and get excited for a totally tubular evening!

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 a stay at the property as a live auction item. Do you have unused gift cards lying around? Those help too! If you are interested in donating, please complete this form or drop off items to the front office.
Do I have to dress up?
This year’s event theme is an 80s 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 plays, massages, fitness classes, adventure passes, vacation packages, just to name a few. The Auction will also offer Teacher/Clermont Experiences, and Socials.
What is a Social?
It is a party 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 party and contribute the costs of the event, so that full ticket price from the Social is donated to the Clermont PTA. Often times, Socials have multiple hosts to share the costs of the Social. In the past, there has usually been at least one Social 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 are an excellent opportunity to meet and get to know better other students or parents at Clermont Elementary School.
