“We’ve been doing this event for 45 years and are so grateful to see residents and businesses take such an interest in supporting our children,” said Claranne Merlo, director and a teacher at the school. “It just reaffirms the significant role we all play in helping shape the educational learning experience for our children. They are our future.”

With a focus on experiential learning, Wrightstown Friends encourages children to take a hands-on approach to learning. Helen Todt, lead teacher, loves to see children apply what they’ve learned to everyday experiences. “We believe passionately that an exceptional early childhood education makes an enormous impact on the futures of our children and community.”

Proceeds from the auction will go directly to supporting the school’s curriculum and providing tuition assistance to students who otherwise would be unable to attend the school.
