Caroline was part of a small choir that performed as a highlight of the auction entertainment. There were 2 kids from each grade, and they sang two inspirational songs--one about "lighting your candle to light the world" and "All You Need Is Love" by the Beatles. Unfortunately the lights were very low, so the pictures and video didn't turn out well, but trust me that it was very sweet & touching.
Also as part of the live auction, each class prepares a class-made item to auction off to the parents who are willing to spend ridiculous amounts of money for these keepsakes. Margaret's class made a nativity set out of clay, with each student making & painting one piece, and preparing a little explanation about that person/item's role in the nativity story. We don't have the set to show you (it sold for several hundred dollars...), but Jeff took a quick picture of Margaret's explanation of her piece: James, one of the shepherds. Hopefully you can read it--the last line is the best!

I love how the explaination went from 'very biblical' to very realistic! Glad you got a picture of that. It will be fun to read when she's older and can understand the irony in it. :O)
Typically, at these school auctions the parents have too much to drink and their wallets get very loose! I always wonder if they have buyers remorse in the morning.
I remember Jen telling me that at their PRESCHOOL auction, a piece of cake went for $200! Yikes!
