IMPORTANT INFO!
The Symmes Carnivalympics is coming soon! We’re trying a new approach to the Bid N Buy Auction this year. We wanted to make sure that you’re all informed of these changes so that you and your families can make the most of this fun-filled event!
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW NOW
- The BID N BUY AUCTION will be in ROOM 4 this year. You’ll also find the Great Gatherings Auction, the Teacher Auctions, and the Classroom Auction Baskets in Room 4! TONS of goodies and TONS of great bargains! Be sure to stop by Room 4!
- We’re adding a WEBSITE to our Bid N Buy Auction this year! We’ll be sharing the web address in the coming weeks, so be sure to follow “Symmes Elementary” on Facebook and subscribe to the school blog so you don’t miss anything! http://symmeselementarynews.blogspot.com
- We’re hosting a PREVIEW WEEK online – where you will be able to preview a large number of the Bid N Buy items starting Friday, 2/19 at 5:00 pm and continuing through Thursday, 2/25 at 5:00 pm! Mark your calendar!
- From our new website, you will have the option to PURCHASE highlighted items during the Preview Week with our new BUY IT NOW feature. Just a heads up…some Buy It Now prices will be up to 50% off the estimated value of the item! You will want to take advantage of the Preview Week and the Buy It Now features because these prices will go up on the night of the Carnival! The Buy It Now option is the best way to ensure you get the best deal on our most popular items!
- In order to make the Buy It Now purchases during Preview Week, you will need to have a PAYPAL ACCOUNT. This is a free and easy process! Directions are provided below.
- Items purchased during the Preview Week will be available for PICK UP in Room 4 during the school day on Friday 2/26, as well as during the Carnival hours. You will need to bring a printed copy of your Paypal receipt or be able to show the actual email on your phone to the Bid N Buy Check-out Volunteers in order to pick up your purchases.
- Bring your checkbooks for purchases made the night of the Carnival!
We’re looking forward to an awesome night! See you on February 26th!
