On Friday, Feb. 6, Vestavia Hills Elementary West hosted its 10th annual auction fundraiser. Bids & Bites drew a record crowd ready to bid on more than 225 items, including vacations, furniture, jewelry, and artwork at the annual live and silent auction.
“This was such a fun evening for our parents and faculty to fellowship, buy some awesome items, and continue to support the learning of our students,” said Kim Hauser, VHEW principal.
The event took place at the former Cokesbury location. While bidders browsed, they also enjoyed live music by Sam Shober of Meteorite and complimentary food from IZ Catering. More than $20,000 was raised for the school, and the funds will go toward professional development opportunities for teachers, a new sound system for the gym, and a new Chrome Book laptop cart.
