Bryant Online Auction: Donate an Experience, Game, or Show Today!

Lily Chan

The Bryant online auction will be held from March 28th-April 4th, 2025 and it impacts the learning experiences of our young students. The Bryant Online Auction financially supplements the work of our school’s outstanding teachers and support staff with experiences and events like our annual writer’s celebration, science fairs and math championship. It also helps give critical financial support for arts enrichment, math and reading tutors, field trips, computer instruction, and the purchase of musical equipment. We’re proud of our involvement in this fundraiser, and we’re asking for your help.

The Bryant Online Auction committee is looking for fun family or adults only experiences, tickets to sporting events and shows, rental/hotel stays, dinners, cooking classes or anything else you’re willing and able to donate. Your donation isn’t just to help our committee. Your donation is meant to directly impact our students and their experience at Bryant.

When you’re ready to make a donation, please fill out our Online Donation Form to let us know or send an email to Maureen Bhak at maureenb@bryantschool.org. Please complete the online donation form by March 14th, 2025. This is all in support of our favorite school…let’s show our Bryant teachers, staff and students how much they mean to us!

Join the Bryant Blast Committee 

Lily Chan

Planning for the Bryant Blast has begun! Event organizers are looking for committee members to help plan food & activities, advertise the event, organize volunteers and more.

This is one of the big events in our school calendar and we need as many volunteers as possible to make the event a success.

Haven’t been to the Blast before? Don’t worry! It’s a group effort, a fun way to get involved and meet other Bryant grownups.

If you’re interested in getting involved please email: leahexten@bryantschool.org.

Let’s open up those wallets, warm up those credit cards, and get ready to support our favorite students, teachers, staff and school. And while it’s always a thrill to catch a deal, let’s remember who we’re doing this for. Let’s be gracious to our generous donors; let’s make sure we’re giving what they are worth (or more!).
