Dear Orcas Community,

Please join us on Sunday, September 20th from 5:00 pm to 7:30 pm as we celebrate the 10th Anniversary of Orcas Christian School with a silent auction that benefits our scholarship fund.  The event will be held at the Discovery House at Rosario, and will feature appetizers and desserts.  Tickets are $25 per person and are tax deductible.  We have donations from a variety of local businesses including items ranging from baked goods to a vacation trip to a destination of your choice.

OCS was founded in 1999 as a Christian elementary school with 26 students, and over the years, has grown to K-12 with over 100 students.  As you can see if you look at the schools website (oics.org), we have a beautiful facility and thriving programs.  What you don’t see on the website is the fact that over 50% of our students receive academic, athletic, or tuition assistance scholarships in order to be able to receive a Christian education.  You do the math – our school needs to maintain substantial donations to continue to make it add up!

Please invest in a student and your community and support our scholarship fund by attending the anniversary auction.  You can purchase tickets by calling the school at 376-6683 and ordering them.  You can pay by credit or debit card, and you will truly be making a difference in the education of many students at OCS.  Tickets will also be available at the door.

Thank you in advance for your support.

Sean Roach
Auction Chairman
