Each class will have a project listed on BiddingOwl.com, so please bookmark the page, get our your wallets, and check the site for the beautiful creations that could soon be YOURS! There will also be other amazing prizes added to the site, so stay tuned!
Can you believe the Gala is less than a month away?!
Also…online bidding has opened! Yes, online bidding for classroom art projects! So far we have 9 awesome items ready to be bid on. More items will be added later in the week and in a couple of weeks, we will be adding Teacher Auctions as well. So check back often!
