Welcome to the 2014 QAE Auction! Thank you for choosing to spend this very special evening with us. We are all fortunate to be part of such a wonderful community of parents, educators, and most importantly – children -- and this evening is first and foremost a celebration of that. This year marks the 4th annual QAE auction, which serves as the largest of our three PTSA fundraising events. Putting together an event of this magnitude takes a lot of hard work, and we are extremely fortunate to have such a committed, talented and dedicated fundraising team. We would like to thank Auction Chairs Natalie Carlson, Cari Lui and Sarah Morris for the countless hours of planning, organizing and coordinating that it has taken to make this evening such a wonderful event. We would also like to thank the many volunteers who have helped in so many ways. Lastly, we would like to thank our teachers and staff who have offered time and resources toward sponsoring auction items, facilitating class projects, and agreeing to be interviewed for our video. The PTSA and school share a common commitment to providing our kids the best education possible, and none of that would happen without the dedication and expertise of our teachers. We strive to arm this talented group with the support, training and resources that will best help them to succeed. In fact, over 90% of our budget directly impacts the education your kids receive, with our largest buckets of spending breaking out as follows:

1. Instructional assistants, kindergarten aides and reading tutors 2. Art and music programs 3. Staff training, planning and supplies 4. Social and emotional learning resources and support 5. Learning software and devices

This auction is our main fundraiser of the year – generating over 50% of our annual operating budget – so it’s obviously an important one, and we encourage you to be a part of it. We very much appreciate all that you have done for our school. Your commitment helps raise the quality of the experience our kids will enjoy as they continue along their paths through QAE. Thank you again for being here, and please have a wonderful time! Sincerely, Lee Wierdsma and Derek Streat 2013-14 QAE PSTA Co-Presidents

Ms. Marks' Class Art Project: No. 26 Abstract Flowers Ms. Marks’ Kindergarten class created beautiful abstract flowing flowers by drawing graphic black outlines and filling them in with chalk pastels to elicit vibrant spring colors. Enjoy this priceless modern piece of artwork in any area of your home. You can’t get those precious kindergarten years back but you can remember them everyday with their beautiful handmade artwork. [Measures 24”x36”.] Donated by: Ms. Marks' Class

306 Ms. Yokoyama's Class Art Project: The Dragon’s Gold

The writers of Room 210 banded together to create an original story--and an original work of art. Each student added phrases and ideas to link together a full story of 425 words. Then, each student chose words from the story for a poem. Students illustrated their chosen words on tissue paper with watercolors, which were adhered to a 30”x30” piece of wood (used on the set of James & the Giant Peach and donated by Seattle Children's Theatre). Their illustrations cover all but the words of the poem, allowing both story and distillation of words to show through. On the reverse, the signatures of each child are displayed. Donated by: Ms. Yokoyama's Class

307 Ms. Cryan Leary's Class Art Project: Flying Colors

In a colorful, original piece of artwork, children in Ms. Cryan Leary's Kindergarten class designed their own feathers (some while singing). Together, they created a magnificent bird rich in color and character. A rare bird indeed! The artwork is framed and comes with a diagram identifying each artist's contribution. It will touch your heart and brighten your home! Donated by: Ms. Cryan Leary's Class

Ms. Meck's Class Art Project: Feathered Friends Ms. Meck's students present Feathered Friends, an original work of art featuring adorable and colorful birds perched happily together along the sturdy branches of a large tree.

Each canvas has been sealed with mod podge. Donated by: Ms. Meck's Class

309 Ms. Smith's Class Art Project: What Fills Your Bucket?

It is a wonderful piece of modern art created from recycled soup cans that are mounted on a plywood backing. Painted to coordinate with the cans (buckets) that the kids have created, this contemporary piece expresses all the creativity and spontaneity that 1st Graders can offer. Inside the buckets are pictures from the kids describing what their “bucket word” is. You will be touched and surprised! [Measure 36”x36”.] Donated by: Ms. Smith's Class

310 Ms. Diller’s Class Art Project: Purple Rain

This 18”x24” original piece from Ms. Diller's 1st Grade Class was painted using only pieces of yarn. Over the course of several days, students contributed their own lines by dipping the yarn into paint, then laying them across the painting. As more lines and colors were layered over each other, the lines blurred together to make a one-of-a-kind masterpiece. On the reverse, the students’ signatures are displayed. This sweet, sentimental artwork is ready to hang. Donated by: Ms. Diller’s Class

311

Ms. Colando’s Class Art Project: Our Window on the World Ms. Colando's class presents to you Window on the World, a beautiful natural landscape of the Northwest viewed through a restored original Craftsman window. Through the delicate art of paper cutting and origami, the students created a vibrant and colorful vista in 3-D, depicting Puget Sound, Mt. Rainier, forests, clouds, and cherry blossoms. This 28" x 21" 6-paned window is the perfect frame for their expression of art and gives you a glimpse into the children's home and their community. Donated by: Ms. Colando’s Class

312 Ms. Dickens’ Class Art Project: Organic Forms in Encaustic

After discussing the meaning of “organic art”, Ms. Dickens’ students thought about shapes and lines that would occur in nature and under a microscope. The kids sketched their ideas and discovered the importance of composition, tension and balance. On a board primed with wax encaustic, they worked diligently to carve natural shapes and organic lines, adding oil pastels and wiping away the excess pigment to reveal their work juxtaposed to the dark wax. Measuring 32”x32” in a frame, this unique work of art expresses the students’ imagination and creativity. Donated by: Ms. Dickens’ Class

313 Ms. Leckie's Class Art Project: Balloons Over Seattle

In this mixed media masterpiece, the Seattle skyline serves as the backdrop for your children's hot air balloons. Each child's personality is showcased in his or her balloon's decorations. [Measures 32”x48”.] Donated by: Ms. Leckie's Class

3rd Grade

319 Ms. Klope's Class Art Project: Whose are Whose?

Ms. Klope’s 3rd Graders were asked to write their names and make symbols that represent themselves. Those symbols were used to create a border for this sweet, sentimental work of photographic art of their feet. After you find their names and see what symbols they chose, attempt to figure out whose shoes are whose. Stylized to showcase their feelings, their art and their bodies, this piece captures a moment in time that you will cherish forever. [Measures 16”x48”.] Donated by: Ms. Klope's Class

320 Mr. Liner’s Class Art Project: My Home, Our Neighborhood
