Gala Silent Auction is Open!

Hello CommuniTEA,

We hope that you saw the invitation to participate in TEA’s Silent Auction!

This year’s offerings are a result of every member of this communiTEA digging in and contributing, and we couldn’t be more grateful!

Items will be added daily through the Gala happening this Saturday, so be sure to check back often and forward the link to friends and family members.

We have a copy and paste email below to make that easier for you!

In other news, our amazing bus driver Dennis is out starting next week for a lumbar spinal surgery. Please consider signing up to bring him yummy and easy-to-heat meals. Dennis is in Verdi/North Reno and is excited for our help.

Please consider signing up here. https://mealtrain.com/ded9rl

We look forward to kicking up our heels with you at the Gala on Saturday!

Sincerely,
Your Leadership TEAm

The Silent Auction is Now Open!

The Grit & Glamour Silent Auction is officially open for bidding!

From unforgettable experiences to one-of-a-kind items, this is your chance to support TEA in a meaningful and fun way. Every bid directly benefits our students, faculty, and programs, so we encourage you to shop often, bid generously, and check back frequently as the excitement builds.

The silent auction is fully online and open for two weeks, closing at midnight on May 15th!

Below is an easy to forward message for friends and family…
Hi! I wanted to share a link to Tahoe Expedition Academy’s Grit & Glamour Silent Auction. It is open to everyone, and entirely online so you do not need to attend TEA’s Gala to participate.

There are some amazing items, including travel, experiences, and unique packages. All proceeds support financial assistance, faculty and fieldwork at TEA.

The auction runs through midnight on May 15th with new items appearing daily. If you see a Live Lot that you are excited about but don’t plan to attend our Gala, you can place a proxy bid with me, so even from afar, you can be part of the fun.

Thanks so much for taking a look and supporting this wonderful school!
Shop the silent auction!

Pizza

May Pizza Days


Students will be given either cheese pizza (two slices) or pepperoni pizza (two slices), a piece of fruit and a drink (bubbly water) - all for either $10 or $12 dollars. Gluten Free Pizza is also available. Please select the meal you'd like to order for your child when you pay. Pizza is from Best Pies. Pizza purchases will close on 5/12 at 12 pm. 

Our next Upper School Pizza Day is on May 28th. Pizza purchases will close on 5/27 at 12pm. 

If you are ever unsure if you've ordered already for your student, just reach out to Courtenay Wallpe. She can check the roster for you!

Thank you for supporting TAP!
