3T Auction
The 3T (Time, Talent and Treasure) Auction is our largest fundraiser of the year with proceeds supporting teacher pay and training, materials and equipment and tuition remission for families in need. Community members bid on offerings of handmade items, homemade foods, child friendly activities and materials, gift cards for local businesses and unique experiences in support of our school.
Soup Cook Off
The Soup Cook Off this year will be our finale event to our weeks long 3T Auction fundraiser. During the Soup Cook Off, St. Mark’s families and teachers will cook soups to compete with each other for the coveted prize: The Golden Ladle Trophy. Attendees will have the opportunities to sample all the soups and vote for the winner. St. Mark’s families are encouraged to invite friends and families to this fun evening event.
Young At Art

Our teachers and parents volunteer to help run this event every fall for the greater community beyond St. Mark’s.
