The Knights Ferry School auction was a beautiful and successful evening. The theme for the auction was a western theme inspired by the movie “Urban Cowboy” and the Borba family cooked an amazing steak dinner. It was a surprise to see past Parent Teacher Club moms serve dinner! In the live auction, the paddles were extremely active especially for the Kelly Vermeer Vella knife and wood table by Michelle Patton! On behalf of the Knights Ferry Parent Teacher Club, thank you to all those who attended and helped to support the school, every little bit helps!
The school had a Character-Kindness and Renaissance assembly on Friday and the teachers awarded students in each with perseverance and sportsmanship awards. The 5th through 8th graders were also awarded cards if they earned renaissance for the second trimester.
