From your Green Valley Auction Team,

Thank you to all who supported Green Valley Learning Fund’s signature annual fundraising event on March 29th!  You bid, won and had a blast for a good cause. Through these funds, the Learning Fund can further assist in bridging the gap between state and district funding and the schoolwide resources essential to enriching our students' education experience.  

 

Our auction, excluding the fund-a-need, raised $23K more for the school than the prior year! This year's Fund-A-Need success was felt by the entire room at the Auction event. The support for Green Valley Elementary warmed our hearts. Attendees raised their paddles for a total of $43,650 to fund essential equipment, upgrades, teaching technology and student support. 

 

Online bidding and sign up parties have been extended till Sunday April 20th! There is just one spot left for Dad’s Day out on Aug 21st! And be sure to check out Bedazzled and Bubbles coming up on May 8th - an evening of crafting and cocktails, guests will take home a custom designed coffee table book. Remaining auction items include VIP 5th grade promotion parking, family photoshoot Garden Portrait Sessions and more!

 

More exciting post-auction fun still to come. Wine Warehouse Sale! We have some awesome leftover wine from the auction. Keep an eye out for an online flash sale and pop-up shops (think Trunk or Treat but make it wine). All proceeds will benefit the Green Valley Learning Fund. Stock up on Spring and Summer Sips!

 
 

 Missing in action: After the Auction event a very cherished womens' long white, wool coat has gone missing. It was taken from the coat check closet during the event. Hanger tag # 419. If you have this coat by chance please reach out to auctiongve@gmail.com so that we can reunite this lovely coat with its owner.

Finding Support When You Need It Most: The 988 Crisis Helpline

A crisis, whether it’s emotional distress, financial hardship, or overwhelming uncertainty, can leave anyone feeling lost. But hope is truly just a call away.

 

Life can be overwhelming at times, whether you're facing emotional distress, financial difficulties, or uncertainty. In those moments, it's important to remember that support is just a call away.

988 is a nationwide crisis helpline for mental health support, including those experiencing suicidal thoughts or emotional crises. Just like we all know to call 911 in an emergency, 988 is there for mental health emergencies. When you dial 988, you are immediately connected with trained professionals who provide compassionate, confidential help. These experts offer guidance, reassurance, and access to vital resources to help you through difficult times.

Whether you’re a student or a parent, it’s important that everyone in our community knows how to reach out for help. You don’t have to navigate life’s struggles alone—988 is here for everyone.

Dial or Text 988 for mental health support.

Help is here. You are not alone.
