Auction Updatee

Ludlow Taylor Community:  
I hope that you are enjoying the unseasonably warm weather, particularly because it gives your children a chance to run and play outside.  I know we have been taking advantage of it at Ludlow these past few weeks.  Before we get too far into March, I wanted to reach out and personally ask that you save the date for the 2017 Taste for the Arts Auction.  This year’s event will be held on Saturday, March 25th at St Marks Episcopal Church on Capitol Hill.  If you have not already done so, mark your calendars now and visit the website to buy tickets for the event.  Hopefully you also received a flyer in your child's backpack with this information as well.  
The DCPS budget alone is not enough to achieve the world-class education we seek for our students.  The Taste for the Arts auction is one of Ludlow Taylor’s primary methods of raising funds to support additional educational resources, including improved technology, field trips, more books for more classrooms, and many other materials and supplies that benefit all students.   
I am hoping each of our parents can help us make this event a success by doing any one or all of the following:        
- Seek donations. The auction planning team continues to look for items to auction off.  If you know a business, reach out to them to donate.  If you have a particular skill or interest, consider donating a “parent experience”!  If you can cook, donate a home-delivered meal. If you can play an instrument, donate a few lessons.  [if !supportLists]•      
- Spread the word. We want to make sure all parents at Ludlow-Taylor know about the auction and understand the positive impact it will have on their child’s education.  If you are reading this message, share it with your Ludlow family!              
- Attend! We want to see you there on March 25th.  And we would love it if you could also invite your friends, family, neighbors, and people at work to join you. 
With your help, we can ensure that your children’s teachers have the funds to continue to do incredible things. 
Sincerely,
A. Smith
