On Saturday, April 25, each StMCS classroom will showcase a themed basket for our Bids for Kids Silent Auction available to both our in‑person gala guests and online bidders at home. Our goal is to create high-quality baskets that inspire our approximately 400 bidders to bid generously helping us raise even more financial support for StMCS.
While participation is optional, any contribution your family is able to make is truly appreciated and will benefit our school community.
Donations are due by Friday, February 27.
Every contribution - big or small - makes a meaningful difference. Thank you for supporting Bids for Kids 2026 and making this year’s event a success!
