 Dear Clermont Families,
Time to grab your tickets! 🤠✨ The 2026 Clermont PTA Silent Auction returns in less than 3 weeks — join us on March 7th for a fun Rhinestone Cowboy–themed night in support of our school community!
📅 Saturday, March 7, 2026 🕕 6:00 PM 📍 ALX Atrium, Alexandria (Corner of Washington & Duke Streets)
This adults-only night out will feature a live band (Diplomatic Immunity), fantastic food, great drinks, and an exciting online silent auction. Best of all, this is one of the PTA’s largest fundraisers of the year, helping support programs that benefit ALL Clermont students, including:
- Enrichment Programs
- School Field Trips
- Classroom Instructional Supplies
- New Technology
- School Assemblies
- True Book Fair (free books for students!)
- And so much more
Hitting our revenue goal for the Silent Auction will allow us to fully fund the remaining PTA budget for the year. If we exceed that goal and reach our stretch goal, we’ll also be able to replace the outdoor tent that was damaged in the recent snow and ice storm. This tent — originally installed during COVID — supports outdoor lunch periods, classroom activities, and after-school programs. Thank you for helping us make it happen!

Learn More About the Auction
Last year, Clermont Elementary teachers and staff went above and beyond by creating a series of videos to help showcase the Silent Auction for families who may not have been familiar with the event. These videos captured the spirit of the auction and highlighted just how special—and fun—it truly is. We are incredibly grateful to all of the teachers and staff who participated and shared their enthusiasm. A special thank you to Ms. Salata, Ms. Younger, and Ms. Crouse for leading the development of these fantastic videos—we truly appreciate your time, creativity, and support!

What types of items will be auctioned?
Past items include restaurant gift cards, massages, fitness classes, adventure passes, vacation packages, Teacher Experiences, and Socials.

A Social is a party hosted by Clermont families where tickets are sold at the auction at a set price. Hosts cover the costs so 100% of proceeds benefit the PTA. These are a great way to connect with other families — often one Social per grade level!
