Good Day, 

The 2021 Annual Auction is in just two weeks; The auction will be online Saturday, March 13th at 6pm.  It is always a wonderful evening of fun and also our biggest fundraising event of the year. We can’t thank the PTA enough for all their hard work in putting this event together and also want to thank our community for the amazing donations and contributions that each year help provide the funds for essential resources like additional staffing, technology, teaching resources etc. 

It’s the perfect time to come together and celebrate our school community- our kids, our families, the staff and the place together we have created called Bill Roberts.. We hope to see everyone there at the “Hindsight 2020’” Auction. Tickets are Free this Year but please register for tickets by clicking this link.

Our event will include a program featuring Bill Roberts students, silent and live auctions, door prizes, and contests throughout the night! You can add-on great additions to make your night even more memorable! Exclusive Spiritwear stickers, t-shirts, and sweatshirts; and exclusive charcuterie platters and cocktail kits from So Damn Gouda, designed specifically for our auction. 

All the auction details can be found here.

Thank you, 

Trich, Erik & Katheryn

To culminate Black History Month at our school, we would love to (re-)introduce you to the family man and dedicated civil servant William “Bill” Roberts. His wife Sandra recently provided us with a copy of his 2005 obituary that you can READ HERE. He truly was a remarkable man whose contributions to our city and community can still be felt today.  It is our honor to be housed in a building represented not only through his name but by his character.
