Auction Donations Needed
Speaking of the auction...the race is on to get donations and reach our $80k goal this year! 
The annual auction is our biggest fundraiser of the year and its success is dependent on donations.
All Southmoor families are being asked to help secure two (or more) donations from our community.
Please help us by asking local businesses, your employer, your friends and families for donations.
Donations can include gift cards, good, corporate matches and of course cash! There will be an extra recess and ice cream party for the classroom that brings in the most donations for the months of January, February and March. This is a great opportunity to have the Southmoor Students get involved in helping us reach our goal.  

Learn more at https://southmoorauction.weebly.com/donate.html and thank you for supporting our school.
