SILENT AUCTION & CATALOG
What are TLS Exclusives and Count-Me-Ins?
TLS Exclusives are packages only available to current TLS families like teacher experiences and class projects. Count-Me-Ins are TLS Exclusives with a limited number of tickets, sold available at a set price. These often sell out *very* quickly. Events range from private dinner parties hosted by TLS families, to faculty-lead excursions, to ice skating parties and movie nights.
What is Send Your Teacher Packing (SYTP)?
SYTP is a fun TLS tradition! For $25 you can enter your favorite TLS faculty and staff to win a fabulous get-a-away. There is no limit to how many nominations you can purchase - the more nominations, the better the chances that your teacher will be the one sent packing! The lucky winner will be drawn at live event on Saturday, April 22, 2023. SYTP proceeds benefit the TLS operations budget.
How do I collect my winning items?
Class art projects will be displayed at Picture This and must be taken home from the event by the winning bidders. An email will be sent to winning bidders to arrange pick up of all other tangible items at The Little School after Tuesday, April 25th, 2023.
