Art Auction

The senior high school National Art Honor Society club members are looking for any local artists who would like to donate a work of art for our silent Art Auction.  The Art Auction will run from Monday, Nov. 17^th to 3:00 p.m. on Friday, Dec. 5^th.  All winners will be announced on Monday, Dec. 8^th.  The money raised will be donated to our SHS annual Holiday Telethon.  The telethon is raising money for the Westmoreland County Food Bank, since they are desperately in need of donations this year. 

We hope to have students, teachers and community members donating quality hand-made art items so that we can have a variety of very nice items up for bid.  Items should be matted or otherwise ready for use and display.  Please also have your name and contact information with your item.  They may be dropped off at the Senior High office with attention to Mrs. Mozina.  Donations will only be accepted up to Friday, Nov. 14^th.

All auction items will be numbered and on display in the large showcase across from the office in the main Senior High Lobby.  The silent bidding sheets will be on the bulletin board in the office, so that you can keep track of your bid and keep outbidding anyone else.  We hope everyone can find something they just can’t live without to bid on- and help us fight hunger in our area!  Please contact lmozina@franklinregional.k12.pa.us  with questions.
