Dear Harbor View Families,

As we head into the holiday season, we’re already looking ahead to one of our favorite spring events:

Parents Night Out and its incredible silent and live auctions that help support our students and school programs.

While you’re out shopping, dining, or booking experiences over the next few weeks, we’d love your help securing auction items from the businesses you already know and love.

A simple, “Would you be willing to donate something to my child’s school auction?” can go a long way!

We’re especially looking for items in categories like:

Kids – classes, camps, birthday party packages, toys, books
Beauty & Wellness – spa services, salon treatments, skincare
Trips & Experiences – hotel stays, getaways, unique local experiences
Technology – headphones, speakers, tablets, gaming items, accessories
Plus, gift cards, restaurant certificates, and special services of all kinds

No item is too small – truly, all donations are welcome and appreciated. Smaller items can always be bundled together to create great packages.

And if the idea of asking a business feels a bit too embarrassing or out of your comfort zone, you can always purchase something yourself and donate it directly to the auction.

Every contribution helps make a big difference.

If a business is interested in donating, they can provide:

A gift card or certificate
A physical item
An experience (lesson, service, tasting, etc.)

Thank you for thinking of Harbor View as you shop and support local businesses this season.

Your generosity and connections help make Parents’ Night Out a success and directly benefit all of our kids.

Warmly,

Kate Gresham and Jennifer Jackson

Harbor View Elementary PFO
