Trees for Dominica

C.E.S. Silent Auction

Bidding Closed

Students and staff have decorated trees to assist in this special fundraising effort for Dominica - a small island devastated by Hurricane Maria last fall. All proceeds from the sales of the trees go to the IT for Dominica Foundation in order to help re-establish student learning with technology, infrastructure and resources to Dominica's 75 schools.

The first 14 trees sold on December 18th, bringing in $935.00 for Dominica so far. Many thanks to the successful bidders for your generosity, and to all those who participated in the bidding wars.

The original boxes for the trees are available with the trees so you can store them for next year.

Please inquire with Mrs. Lenz if you would like a charitable donation receipt for your tree purchase. (emma.lenz@pallisersd.ab.ca)

Special Thanks to Michael's for the donation of the 4.5' feet pre-lit trees which inspired this project.
