Follow on Google News | Princeton Montessori School’s annual auction raises funds for scholarship.The annual Auction, held on Saturday, April 13, was again both the highlight of the school’s social calendar and a great success at raising SummerQuest scholarship funds.
Proceeds from a year-long 50/50 raffle were put towards the scholarship and, at the end of the live auction, Sebastian Clarke, noted auctioneer and Princeton resident, held a lively reverse auction. The winner of the 50/50 raffle, parents of a student at the school, donated their winnings back to the scholarship fund. Students and teachers donated items or services towards the auction. The After-School program, with students aged 3-6, spent weeks making a rug out of their discarded t-shirts (pictured). The bottom section of each t-shirt was cut into strips, the strips were knotted together, and then the students each took turns to weave the strips back and forth on a large loom to make the rug. Bidding was competitive. The winning bidders were parents whose children particularly enjoyed this rug-making process. Guests enjoyed a catered dinner by Gennaro’s Restaurant in Princeton and towering cherry blossom table-center arrangements from Dahlia’s in Pennington. In total, over $60,000 was raised to benefit the School’s programs as well as to provide deserving SummerQuest Scholarships to deserving families. End
