Welcome to the
Merriam School 2010 Auction Website

The auction is the largest fundraiser of the year for the Merriam PTO. When you think about what makes Merriam so special, a teaching assistant in every classroom must come to mind.

But did you know that these classroom treasures are a luxury and not an entitlement? Each year, 100% of the proceeds from all Merriam School PTO activities and events are used to help fund teaching assistants. Last year's proceeds funded one-third (8 out of the 24) positions!
