Have you always wanted to volunteer for with QAE but find it hard to make time? Looking for something you can do that will make a big impact but has flexibility? Maybe you are just trying find a way to assuage guilt while binge watching your favorite show

The Auction Committee can use your help writing thank you cards! We have close to two hundred Thank Yous to write to let the amazing donors all over this community know how much of an impact they made on our world.

Commit to writing 5 or 20. We will provide the note cards the pre-printed envelopes and the stamps. You provide the honest gratitude, the ink and the time.

While beginning their Salmon Life Cycle PBL, Ms. Belcher's third graders painted their own, unique ceramic fish with underglaze in a variety of colors, using brushes and sponges. Students then applied a clear overglaze and the fish were fired in an electric kiln. Purchase your student’s ceramic creation before the Online Auction is over!

Today’s featured items have a little something for everyone!

If you are a Kindergarten family, please check out the What's in My Heart? Kindergarten grade-level photo book! This photo book captures QAE’s kindergarteners in sweet, candid shots, arranged by class. The grade-level “What’s In My Heart? What's in Your Heart” Project-Based Learning project was the inspiration for this book, capturing the heart of your child in photos and their own words.  This touching 8.5"x 8.5" photo book is available for order in the Online Auction (https://qae.schoolauction.net/auctio2018/catalog?show_id=197 or simply search for item number 807). Sign-ups are happening now and a sample will also be available at the event on Friday!

Ms Thibault’s second graders have lovingly curated a collage of Our Queen Anne Elementary, as it looks before our remodel. As a class they discussed what our community means to us, what it looks like, what the major changes will be, and what we’d like to remember. The photos the second graders took have been arranged in a 16x20 collage-style poster that’s perfect for framing. It’s a great piece of memorabilia for anyone at Queen Anne Elementary! Posters are available in the Online Auction (https://qae.schoolauction.net/auctio2018/catalog?show_id=243 or search for item number 701). Get yours now!
