A spring fund-raising event is fast becoming a tradition at Omni Montessori School. Funds raised from the event are used to help maintain the beautiful main campus that provides a peaceful, green setting for students, to continue outfitting the new Activity Center and Land Lab, and to ensure that Omni’s high-quality staff and faculty continue to be fairly compensated.

The school has hosted a variety of themes for the auction, from The World Around Us in 2009, a festive evening featuring international cuisine, silent and live auctions, to 2011's C'est la Fete de Mardi Gras, a grand Cajun affair to rival the best New Orleans celebration. Every year, the event involves virtually everyone within the Omni community – parents, teachers, alumni, and students who make art projects to be auctioned.

The Emerald Isle Auction Gala will be held on Saturday, March 17, 2012. For ticket, donation, or sponsorship information, please contact the Director of Development at rebecca.parrish@omni-montessori.org or 704-541-1326.
