Each year, the St. Mark’s parent committee spearheads our biggest fundraiser of the year to support the school’s budget. Funds raised are used to provide scholarships to families in need, pay for continuing education for our teachers, and improve our indoor and outdoor classrooms. Community members donate gifts of their time and talents, offering experiences such as music lessons and tea parties. Treasures include handcrafted items and homemade meals and baked goods, alongside gift certificates to many Bloomington small businesses. St. Mark’s families, friends and neighbors are encouraged to share the auction broadly to invite participation from our greater community.
