Thank you for attending!

Loyal Heights chooses to throw an auction each year because in addition to fundraising, we believe in FUNraising! The camaraderie that is raised during all of our events is important and makes Loyal Heights stand out in our larger community.

Ideally, fundraising would not be necessary, and all Washington children would receive a fully funded public education. Unfortunately, that is just not the case. In recent years, overall state funding for education has decreased from 50% down to 42%. With limited funding, the district has implemented an equity-tiered model to ensure that children/schools with a greater need receive more funding. As a result of the LHE economic make-up and test scores, we are in the bottom 20% of this funding model.

Your fundraising dollars pay for all LHE tutors, the math IA, a portion of office staff, instrumental music for 4th & 5th graders, family events such as Harvest Night, Math & Literacy nights, and the family dance, special education and neurodiversity programs, equity events, scholarships for field trips and activities, family supports, $500 in discretionary funds for each teacher, and much more!
