Homecoming Auction & Raffle
​Saturday, March 19th, 6-12 midnight

​
​Maybe you had sequins, ruffles, boutonnieres, and sweaty slow dancing, or maybe a cigarette in a parking lot while wearing a flannel and listening to something loud. Maybe there was a bonfire while somebody played guitar badly. No matter how different our teens were, we all got to experience the glorious inevitable awkwardness, hormones, and pimples. And, Saturday, March 19, we are celebrating all of it in support of our incredible Sunset Co-op Nursery School. 

It's HOMECOMING time!!! So Come As You Were in those devastatingly weird years. Extremes encouraged.

Every penny we raise goes towards the supplies and needs of the school. Imagine if high school were as amazingly loving and warm as Sunset is. Let's show Sunset all the love and keep growing generations of kids so much better equipped to face the challenges of adolescence and beyond.
