Each year, the McGilvra PTA provides important funding that directly supports our children’s education, specifically the art program, academic tutors, and our math and reading specialist. These programs are critical elements of our children’s education and daily experience at school. The cost of these vital school resources is approximately $1,275 per student. We will not be able to continue to support these programs and positions next school year without financial assistance from our community.  The spring auction is one of our three fundraising initiatives during the year.

McGilvra Elementary School is special – from the dedicated teachers and staff, to the historic building, to the wonderful students and families that make up our Wildcat community.  By donating an auction item, being an event sponsor, or attending the event, you will help ensure the ongoing strength of our special community.

All donations are tax deductible.
