In its more than 30 year history, The Grammar School Spring Auction has had many different incarnations. Regardless of its form, the Spring Auction has traditionally had two primary purposes; to close the budget gap between tuition and actual operating costs, and to provide a fun and inclusive social event for our TGS community.

As we continue to bask in the afterglow of yet another successful Medieval Faire, our thoughts and energies now turn to our annual spring fundraiser. In an effort to meet the current school community’s needs and preferences, the TGS Auction Review Committee would greatly appreciate your feedback and suggestions as to how to plan and execute an appealing and successful spring fundraising event. Thank you very much for your time and thoughtful responses.
