The Clermont Elementary PTA Silent Auction – Rhinestone Cowboy Edition is now less than TWO WEEKS away and we can’t wait to see you on:

Saturday, March 7, 2026
6:00 PM
ALX Atrium, Alexandria

If you haven’t purchased your tickets yet, now is the time! This adults-only night out will feature a live band (Diplomatic Immunity), amazing food, great drinks, a high-energy atmosphere, and an exciting online auction — all while supporting our incredible Clermont students.

🎟️ Buy your tickets today:

This is one of the PTA’s largest fundraisers of the year and directly supports programs that benefit ALL Clermont students, including enrichment programs, field trips, classroom supplies, new technology, assemblies, the True Book Fair (free books for students), and more.

And remember… if we hit our stretch goal, we’ll be able to replace the large outdoor tent damaged in the recent snow/ice storm — a space our students use for lunch, learning, and activities. Your ticket purchase truly makes a difference.

🍽️ Dinner & Desserts

Your ticket includes a delicious dinner featuring:

  • Chicken & Broccoli Pasta
  • Shrimp & Crab Dip with Crostinis
  • UNO’s signature Rattlesnake Pasta (for adventurous cowboys & cowgirls!)
  • Fan-favorite Chicken Bites
  • Caesar & Garden Salads
  • 50 assorted pizzas
  • Yummy desserts

Gluten-free and vegetarian meals are available upon request prior to the event.
