How Can IS Families Help?
1. Come to the Auction! Not only will you have fun, but your attendance encourages other parents & families to attend, donate to our school, and affirms that you, too, believe in IS' strong community. 
Encourage your friends, fellow parents, family, colleagues, and teachers to join you for a fun evening!

2. We need auction items! Talk to your colleagues, teams, family members, and students about creating/donating auction items! This could be something like contributing a themed basket, art, items, trips, hotel stays, services, or experiences.  Consider organizing a grade-level themed basket to be auctioned off or helping your student(s) with their club projects/donations.
Consider a corporate sponsorship and other places you could ask for auction donations. (Business and corporate sponsorship form attached)
Donate here: 2025 International School Auction Request
 
3. Tell your kids you are going to the auction and encourage other parents to attend!
 
4. Check out our volunteer signup! We need a bigger team! Some help can be done at home. Volunteer positions can be found here: 2025 IS AUCTION GALA: AN EVENING OF FUNDRAISING & COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT
 

 

 

DOUG JAMES HANDOUTS

Here are the links and handouts he promised to share with our community about how to talk to our children about violence and school safety.
