Auction
The Providence auction is an exciting tradition and is the single largest fund-raising event of the year. You never know what you might see at the auction: trips to Vail, purebred puppies, a brand new Chevy! The 2010 Auction will be held at Two Hearts Banquet Center on Friday, February 19th. We welcome donations of goods and services to this much-anticipated event. Visit the auction page for more information and item previews as the Auction draws near.
March in the Park
For the past four years, Providence students have participated in a walk-a-thon fundraiser from St. Louis Union Station to the Arch. This year the students will be walking in Forest Park from the History Museum to the Art Museum. "March in the Park" is a celebration for the students after weeks of soliciting donations from sponsors. Participating in this event allows students an opportunity to contribute to the general fund of the school.
During the walk, older students take on the responsibility of watching over younger students, allowing them to get to know one another and to be responsible for caring for one another. Throughout the rest of the year, these students have a special bond; the older student continuing to ‘look out’ for the younger one. The ‘March’ itself is a fun time of getting to know one another, students and parents alike. Parent participation is high and rewarding.
