Welcome to the 2026 Hawthorne Elementary Silent Auction and Carnival!

Come back and take a look all week!! More items will be added all auction week (even after auction starts May 2nd)!

Event Dates: May 1 - May 8, 2026

The Hawthorne Silent Auction and Carnival is our biggest and most important fundraising event of the year, providing essential funding for Hawthorne Elementary School.

Each year, the Hawthorne PTO raises funds to support programs that directly enrich student education. The Hawthorne Auction funds this budget, ensuring that our students, teachers, and school community have the resources they need to thrive.

For 2026, our goal is to raise $15,000 through this auction, which will directly support teacher supplies and student activities.

Your participation in the auction—whether through bidding, donations, or sponsorships—helps make these programs possible.

Join Us in Making a Difference!

Your participation—whether through bidding on auction items, making direct donations, or becoming a sponsor—helps provide the best possible educational experience for our students.

With money raised, we can increase the amount given to our teachers to buy much needed supplies for their classroom. We can fund our NEW STE(A)M lab with even more amazing projects. We can also work towards our larger project of new playground equipment!

Please share the auction site with friends and family. Together can 'SOAR'!
