[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And for another approach, look how Ross Elementary manages their auction:

(No child at Ross, but like the idea!)[/quote]
Janney has 4 times the enrollment of  Ross (vs. 700+ kids vs. 175 kids).  Having all the parents attend for free probably wouldn't work for most of the spaces they use.[/quote]

The auction is at the school and has been since the renovation in 2010-11.  I really think this has been the last minute price for a years, tickets were 75$ until a few weeks ago, now 85$ until the end of the month I think.  Janney has less per pupil funding than many schools.  If funding was even per pupil across the board I think it would be more reasonable to pool auction resources, but I also think they would raise a lot less as parents like helping their own kids’ schools.  Janney has in the past both shared a portion of its auction proceeds (this was a number of years ago) and done fundraisers specifically for other schools.

Also, many families, even parents of the younger grades, bought years ago for under $1M.  Lots of fed lawyers.  Doing well but not wealthy.  [/quote]

If you own a house that's worth close to $1 million, you're wealthy, even if you don't feel like you have the cash flow to spend $150 on auction tickets.[/quote]
