On Friday, March 18, St. Paul Lutheran School will celebrate 60 years of providing Christian education to families of Hilton and beyond. In honor of this momentous occasion the community is invited to a live auction and dinner beginning at 5:30 p.m. with bidding to follow at 6:30 p.m. Festivities will be held at St. Paul Lutheran Church and School located at 158 East Avenue, Hilton.
Items up for auction include hotel accommodations, tickets to local attractions and all types of merchandise. Last year, due to overwhelming support from the community and corporate sponsorships, the School exceeded the initial fundraising goal by $8,600 to raise a total of $33,600.
In honor of the School’s 60th anniversary, event organizers have set a goal of raising $60,000 and are currently seeking donations and corporate sponsorships. Funds raised from this event provide need-based scholarships to students and improvements to the school facility. The auction is organized and led by St. Paul parents and teachers, who volunteer countless hours of their time to this event.
Loreen Kemp, St. Paul parent and auction chair, said, “Most people do not realize that more than 70 percent of the students who attend St. Paul come from outside of the church congregation, including surrounding school districts from Greece and Brockport to the City of Rochester. This event ensures that we can continue to provide financial aid to our students and impact our community.”
