St. Andrew's Preschool & Kindergarten’s Families Support Great Cause At Annual Fundraiser

Over one hundred St. Andrew’s Preschool & Kindergarten family members and friends were transported to London on Friday night May 9th for the school’s annual Spring Fling fundraiser event.

They were greeted with UK themed decorations, music, delicious food and drinks.  Everyone enjoyed a lively night of silent and live auctions, a prize board, games of chance, and a 50/50 cash raffle.  Close to 30 beautiful prize baskets were on display and raffled off throughout the evening.  One of the highlights was the silent auction of beautiful hand-crafted artwork created by each class at the school.

Five percent of the fundraiser’s profits will go directly to the school’s outreach partner, The NJ Battered Women’s Shelter.  Non-perishable food items collected at the event will also go towards supporting the Shelter’s mission.  Funds raised for the school will go directly to supporting the funding of scholarships, educational materials, play equipment, and teacher professional development.
