A: You can pick up purchased auction items after school on Monday, 9/29, in front of the school. Anything not picked up will be in the office until Friday, October 10th, before fall break. If not picked up by that date, it will be considered a PTO donation.
Q: How will I know if someone outbid me?

Q: What happens if I place my bid but it does not show up on the item page?
