Superintendent, Debbie Siebert speaks about the auction and the funds the school hopes to receive through this annual event.
“We usually hope to clear around $90,000 but this year we are hoping for at least $100,000,” Siebert said. “It’s bittersweet, saying goodbye is hard. I’ve been doing this for 25 years, it’s been a big part of my life. But when the Lord calls you in and then calls you out you know.”
