Event Line-Up
What do I wear?
Think Lion Pride casual! Feel free to have fun with the sports theme by wearing your son's jersey, perhaps an adult version of the Lower School gym shirt, or simply represent your Lion pride with blue and gold or St. Mark's gear.
What is "Gifts of Time"?
St. Mark's faculty and staff have donated their time and talents via offerings in the Silent Auction called "Gifts of Time." The purpose is to foster community within St. Mark's through fun and unique experiences. Bidding is done electronically through your mobile device and all proceeds from the evening allow the Parents' Association to provide support that strengthens our community and furthers the School's mission.
How do I know if I have won a Gift of Time?
If you win an item, you will receive a notification text once bidding closes as well as a follow-up email from the Celebrate Community Committee connecting you with the host for further details.
