Bryant Online Auction 2024 Begins This Friday, 3/29 at 8AM!

Mark your calendars for the Bryant Online Auction starting on Friday, March 29th at 8AM and ending on Friday, April 5th at 8PM. 

Let’s open up those wallets, warm up those credit cards, and get ready to support our favorite students, teachers, staff and school. And while it’s always a thrill to catch a deal, let’s remember who we’re doing this for. Let’s be gracious to our generous donors; let’s make sure we’re giving what they are worth (or more!). But most importantly, let’s kindly rub it in our neighbor’s faces that we beat them as they were trying to win a two night stay in Seabrook or the behind the scenes Climate Pledge Arena tour.

Check out some of the other great offerings in our online auction this year:

  • Wine and Snack Tasting Party for 8 from Ebb & Co.
  • Become the First Evergreens VIP with One Year of Meals
  • Weeklong Summer Camps and Month Long Kids’ Classes
  • and much more!

Happy bidding, Bryant families! And don’t forget to raise your virtual paddle!

5th grade families, donations by 4/3 & packing party 4/5!

 

The HIP Packing Party will be Friday evening 4/5 in the cafeteria from 6:30-7:15pm! Food donations must be dropped off at school by 2pm on Wednesday, 4/3. Collection bins are located in the main office and each 5th grade classroom.

Please sign up to donate food and volunteer to help! We need food donations for specific items and parent volunteers at the packing party. All food drive donations need to be recorded on the Sign-up Genius so we can confirm we have the correct quantities of items to make our goal of 125 healthy HIP packs.

If you aren’t able to purchase and bring food to school but still want to contribute, we have a GivingFuel page so you can donate money which will be used to purchase any remaining items needed.

We need your help! Last year HIP saw a significant increase in demand for Healthy HIP Packs. The Bryant Student Hunger Service Project aims to provide a hands-on opportunity for our community to learn about and help students facing food insecurity every day in Seattle.
