The Saint Mary’s University senior class will be holding their annual silent auction on Nov. 29 and 30. Proceeds will fund senior week activities. A portion may also help to fund the senior class gift.

“The auction is just one of the many ideas within a very large binder to help raise money for the senior class,” explained Anna Skonieczny, senior class officer. One way to get donations for the auction was by sending a letter all of the seniors’ parents. The letter asked for donations of actual items or for a monetary amount. If parents decide to go with the monetary route, the Senior Class Committee use that money to purchase items.

There are also some very unique ideas being used as auction items. “There are students using the talents they have as items,” said Skonieczny. “Some are giving lessons, haircuts, or taking senior photos.”

The committee has also started to ask local businesses for donations. At the time of publication, there were no confirmed items from the businesses.

Skonieczny was very happy with the turn-out of seniors to help with the event. “But we could always use more,” she said.

Skonieczny also encourages that if the seniors have any ideas for donations, they should either let her or fellow Senior Class Officer, Lindsay Dickson know. Also, if seniors would still like to become involved with the senior class committee, the next meeting will be on Wednesday, Nov. 14, at 9 p.m. in Room 6A of the Toner Student Center.
