Kraybill Mennonite School Gears Up For Benefit Auction By Chelsea Peifer
Organizers of the Kraybill Mennonite School (KMS) Benefit Auction invite the community to join in the fun on Friday and Saturday, May 10 and 11, at the school, 598 Kraybill Church Road, Mount Joy. Proceeds from the two-day event will go directly toward KMS and help to bridge the gap between tuition and actual school expenses. Auction chair Liz Heisey said that returning to a two-day format for last year’s auction proved to be a hit with the community, and $110,000 was raised for the school - a record-breaking total at least in recent history for KMS. The silent auction will begin at 3:30 p.m.
on May 10, which is also when the live auction preview and the Mother’s Day shop will open. A variety of gift baskets, jewelry, and other items suitable for moms will be available in the Mother’s Day shop for people to purchase just in time for the holiday. “It’s been a neat (solution) for people realizing, ‘I don’t have anything for Sunday,’ and it takes care of that for them,” Heisey remarked. Bidding for the live auction will begin at 5 p.m. The highly anticipated class projects, eighth-grade projects, and teacher experiences will be up for bids at 6:30 p.m., followed by sports tickets and memorabilia at 7:45 p.m. and unique experiences at 8 p.m. Some of the noteworthy items up for bids See Kraybill pg 4
