17th Annual
International Festival and Auction
Birchwood's 17th Annual International Festival and Auction
is Saturday, December
3rd, from noon until 4 p.m., at the school. It is a day
to celebrate the diversity of Birchwood while raising funds to support
the school.
The IFA is our major
fundraiser. This is our primary means to raise money,
above and beyond what is raised with tuition. This money pays the cost
of academic competitions like Future Problem Solving, Power of the Pen,
History Day, and MathCounts. Furthermore, these funds play an important
role in the professional development of Birchwood's teachers, such as
continuing education, workshops, conferences, memberships in
professional organizations, and subscriptions to journals. It is an
essential fundraiser for us.
Every year, families and friends have a marvelous time at the IFA,
socializing, enjoying mouth-watering multi-cultural foods, and bidding
on items which have been donated for the festival. This year there will
be:
The traditional
Silent Auction
for merchandise and services
The Live
Auction for priceless items made by each class, plus
vacations, golf
packages, and more!
The
International Raffle:
a chance raffle which includes creative class
projects plus gift packages
