Make plans to join your Congress Park neighbors on Friday, Nov. 13 for a very special virtual “Totally Teller” Auction & Game Night to celebrate and support our local Teller Elementary School! There will be a variety of games for kids and adults, a silent and live auction, a dance party, prizes, and of course a chance to dress up around this year’s event theme: “Games and Riddles!”
So whether you wear a top hat like Monopoly’s Rich Uncle Pennybags, don a mustache a la Mario and Luigi, or simply just put on your poker face, you’re guaranteed a fun time during this virtual event while bidding on some exciting auction items — everything from airline tickets, weekend getaways and wine tastings to camps and classes and special “Tiger Treat” teacher and staff experiences for kids.
It’ll be a crazy fun night AND it raises about one-third of the Teller PTA’s annual contribution to the school. The funds raised from Totally Teller support things like new curriculum, our fabulous specials programs, technology maintenance and replacements, and interventionists, among other things!
