Tickets are available for a fundraiser to support the teachers and students at The Sanibel School.<\/p>\n

The Sanibel School PTA will hold its Annual Seahorse Social, \u201cFire & Ice Evening: A Fundraising Gala,\u201d on Feb. 21 from 6 to 9 p.m. at The Community House on Sanibel. It will feature live and silent auctions, a catered dinner, entertainment and more.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s our one main fundraiser that we do every year,\u201d PTA President Samantha Britt said. \u201cIt\u2019s our primary fundraiser to raise funds for the following school year.\u201d<\/p>\n

The proceeds will go toward events for students, classroom grants, to pay for and take care of academic materials that go above and beyond what the School District of Lee County supplies, and more.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s the fundraiser that allows us to be able to provide support for the students, for the teachers,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Artist Rachel Pierce will serve as auctioneer for the live event, with a silent auction also planned.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur live auction will feature a handful of items that tend to be our most attractive items,\u201d Britt said.<\/p>\n

Some of the goodies up for grabs among both auctions will include a live painting party with Pierce, an offshore fishing charter, a reserved parking space at the school, jewelry by Congress Jewelers, beauty packages, gifts cards and swag, a private shopping experience, and such.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo there\u2019s really cool items and experiences,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Attendees will enjoy dinner and more from Savour First Choice Catering.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere will be a cocktail hour with butcher-served hors d\u2019oeuvres,\u201d Britt said of kicking off the evening, which will be followed by the main course. \u201cWe\u2019ll also have desserts and coffee.\u201d<\/p>\n

Music Department Director and elementary music teacher Joey Giangreco will serve as the deejay.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe does a great job,\u201d she said. \u201cHe\u2019s always very enthusiastic.\u201d<\/p>\n

In line with the theme, fire-inspired bolds or ice-cool elegance is encouraged for attire.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe plan for the evening, as far as the decor, is to have the room divided in blue ice and red fire,\u201d Britt said. \u201cWe\u2019re hoping and encouraging people to dress according to the theme. We\u2019re hoping that brings an element that\u2019s a little bit of fun, but not too restricting.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sponsors include: The Kate Foundation, as diamond; Bank of the Islands, as platinum; Sanibel Captiva Community Bank, as silver; and Island Home Watch, as bronze; along with additional supporters.<\/p>\n

\u201cWithout them and without the support of our families and community, we wouldn\u2019t be able to provide what we do and can for the teachers and students,\u201d she said. \u201cWe always appreciate their support.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tickets are $100 per person, with Sponsor A Teacher tickets also available for $100 each.<\/p>\n

The community is invited to secure a seat.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re hoping that everybody is able to attend and come out and have a great time at a beautiful location, and it all goes to an amazing cause,\u201d Britt said. \u201cIt\u2019s the only school we have on the islands that supports our students in K-8.\u201d<\/p>\n
