Dear SSCPS Friends,

On behalf of the South Shore Charter Educational Foundation, South Shore Charter Public School and the Parent Association of South Shore Charter Public School, I would like to thank you for helping to make our annual auction a rousing success.  Your contribution of a Gift Certificate valued at $25.00 helped us to reach our goal.

We had a great turnout of school families and community friends who came together to support the charter school and what it is accomplishing for our students.  We raised almost $21,000 during the silent, live bidding, and on-line auction.

Each person attending the auction was given a program that listed you and the many other area businesses and individuals who contributed items to the auction.  We appreciate your continued support of the charter school and what is doing to help transform young lives on the South Shore.  We hope you will join us again for next year’s auction.

Thank you again for making this an evening to remember and a marvelous fundraiser for our program.

Sincerely,
