Easel Parties

What is an easel party? An easel party is a party or activity scheduled for a specific date and for a specific number of people. Tickets to easel parties are sold on an individual basis at the auction. These parties sell out fast...so check your calendar before the auction and arrive ready to sign up during the silent auction. Select easel parties may be sold prior to or following the auction as well. Watch for details in the newsletter and in the main school hallway.
