Auction Sneak Peek
We have some amazing items this year! Take a look at this week’s highlighted items:

Seahawks Ultimate Game Day Experience for Two
“You and a guest will watch a Seahawks game in Club Level seats for a select 2020 game. Club level seats include early entry to the game, upscale and expanded food and beverage options, complimentary amenities, including gameday programs, hand warmers, etc, gameday photo center with appearances by Seahawks legends, Taima, Boom and more.

The Verizon Lounge is the proud host of the pregame feast and CenturyLink Field’s premier restaurant for a gourmet buffet-style meal!”

Mrs. Jessup’s 1st Grade Class Art Project

“French artists Matisse and Redouté shared a love of color and a rich respect for the tradition of still-life painting. One gave us lush compositions packed with florals and another dense patterns and flattened perspectives. Ms. Jessup’s 1st grade class imagined what might happen if these two artists created work together. Students constructed hand-painted paper flowers in a Matisse like style and they were arranged in a Redouté like fashion. Resulting in a contemporary take on a timeless tradition.”
