But you do not have to pay tuition. So it is cheap.
Maybe you should take an economics class. Or learn what cheap means. Spending money on garbage is never "cheap".
By the way my kids' school doesn't do an auction, just direct donations. I spend a few thousand and considered it well spent because it didn't come with any garbage and was for a good cause.
And if everyone felt the way you do, then no school would need an auction. But the reality is that lots of people won't just write a check for a few thousand dollars. They want to get something concrete for their money, and they don't consider restaurant gift certificates, event tickets, and vacation homes to be "garbage."

All true.
You really owe it to your rapt readers to share the school.
Has to be a private religious school
I'm guessing Holy Trinity.

Can't be - there is a church balcony.
You know not whereof you speak. St. Mark's on the Hill has long played host to many school auctions. SWS has held it there for 20 years.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Sh*t!
I believe it. SWS who knew you had it in you!
Except it wasn't SWS. It was another school.
Capitol Hill Montessori at Logan is my guess.

Our school holds its auction in a church, but I don't know if anyone ever hooked up in the balcony. It wouldn't surprise me! Only crazy thing that every happened that I'm aware of is when a lot of parents got very drunk at someone's house after the main event and stories were told and truths revealed....

I am sure she made quite the impression on our group of parents.
Did she go on to be a principal at a DCPS school?
No, I think she manages a daycare center in Springfield now
