STC Auction Committee
Our PTSA is coordinating auction baskets/items for the Schaumburg Township Council of PTAs and WE NEED YOUR HELP! This year’s theme is Slash, Scare and Spend. Each year the Schaumburg Township Council of PTA’s offers college scholarships to former District 54 students, and summer experience scholarships to current students. The funds to support these scholarships are raised during our annual Silent/Live Auction event on March 13th. Each of the 28 schools are asked to contribute. Since all our students can benefit from the scholarship funds offered by the STC (visit http://pta.sd54.org for an application), we are asking the entire school for donations (but make sure to join our school’s PTA so you can apply for the scholarship). We have given examples of donations below, or we welcome a home depot, Target or Walmart gift card that can be used to purchase items. All items need to be received prior to February 1, 2026 . If interested please contact Kara Schmauderer: [email protected]
