The 2016-2017 Auction Team invite you to don your guayaberas and Cuban Rumba dresses, strap on your dancing shoes and enjoy an evening in La Habana Vieja. Funds raised from the 2017 Lamplighter Parents’ Association Auction will benefit the Igniting Young Minds for a Lifetime of Learning Campaign to Fund People, Place, and Programs. Through the campaign, Lamplighter will not only improve and enhance its campus but will also have the opportunity to further its commitment to hiring and retaining the best faculty and staff.

PA RA LOS N IÑOS
Breathe a sigh of relief, your child won’t be bringing home Squeakers the pet hamster! Lamplighter’s Class Pets are of the “stuffed” variety and each accompanies their very own story. This year, our Early Childhood teachers selected their favorite books and the pets that go along with them. In the fall, each child from Pre-K, K, and T1 will have the opportunity to take their class pet home for one night and journal about their adventures together. But these pets can’t live in the classroom indefinitely. They need forever homes and can be “adopted” on Auction night!
Some of our Lamplighter specialty teachers and faculty have pets too! Dr. Hill, Ms. Mullens, Ms. Krage, and Ms. Vermillion have been known to keep pets at school. These pets can be “adopted” by Early Childhood or Lower School students.
C l ass Pe t s - Pr e -K, Ki nde r , and T 1 Each year, every grade creates projects that highlights the students’ unique spirit and captures the charm that is distinctly Lamplighter.
Our 2017 Auct ion Class Projects:
Pre-K Half Day and All Day - I Lamplighter Pillow Kindergarten – Chalk Lamplighter
T1 – Blowing Kisses First Grade – Jump for Joy
Second Grade – Pioneer Days Third Grade – What I Like About You
Fourth Grade – Leave Your Mark on Lamplighter
Some of the most anticipated items up for bid on Auction night are the beloved Children’s Baskets. Baskets contain both items and experiences. Camping gear, toys, games, electronics, dance lessons, water-park passes, tickets to the planetarium … the list goes on. Our Baskets Committee is hard at work collecting donations and could use your help! We’re creating a SignUp Genius page for items on our basket wish list. More information on this will be available in October! The 2017 Children’s Baskets:
Art Bikes Books Gymnastics Restaurants Science Beauty Star Wars Music Legos Zoo Camping Gaming Fashion American Girl Dinosaurs Sports Movies Cooking Gardening Theater Dance Minecraft Swimming

birthday with their name on the Marquee. Got a weekend birthday? Start the celebration early the Friday before or keep
the party going the following Monday!

“Lamplighter Tributes” is a full-color section of the Auction Book dedicated to Lamplighter students from their family and friends. By placing a treasured photo and personalized message in the Auction Book, your favorite Lamplighter student will have a
special keepsake memory from you. Proceeds from the tributes benefit the Lamplighter Auction. The Lamplighter Auction Book is
sent home to each family in late January/early February.
