Lawton?s Field of Dreams auction

0 Comments

Team Lawton made a big showing at Safeco Field for the PTA’s Field of Dreams auction.  Families, staff and friends of Lawton hit one out of the park and helped the PTA double their revenue projections.  Auction items included a private party at Dale Chihuly’s boathouse, a trip to Chile (won by Lawton’s principal Christine Helm) and a spirited bid-off for Mrs. Dowd’s class auction project featuring the children’s art in the style of Picasso.  

The evening ended with auctioneer Ian Lindsey putting  "the shirt off his back" up for auction and since 4th grade teacher Mrs. Misner was the highest bidder, she became Lawton’s #1 Fan. 

The school sends a special thanks to the Field of Dreams auction committee who worked to pull off the event.  The Lawton PTA funds enrichment programs at the school along with funding for school support such as playground supervision, tutoring, volunteer coordination and classroom grants to teachers.

Thanks to Kimball Mullins for the photos!
