SILENT AUCTION
The Silent Auction is one of our signature fundraising events which helps sustain the amazing programs at Beethoven Elementary.
Ever year, our Silent Auction includes a live party and each grade contributes a themed gift basket to be auctioned off.
We also have tons of extraodinary experiences to bid that have included movie nights with your fave teachers!

GRADE
BASKETS
At Beethoven Elementary, our tradition is for each grade to collect items for a “themed gift basket” which will be auctioned off at the live event. Each grade’s basket is given a suggested theme.
Room Parents are charged with collecting the items for this “themed gift basket” to be presented at the live silent auction event.
Last year’s gift basket themes were:
- 1st Grade – Camping Basket
- 2nd Grade – Date Night Basket
- 3rd Grade – Wine and Spirits Basket
- 4th Grade – Family Game Night Basket
- 5th Grade – Gift card/Lottery Scratcher Basket
SILENT DISCO PARTY
Our silent auction comes to life in real life at a live event ever year! We gather as a community to auction off the grade level’s themed gift baskets and spend the evening having a great time together!
The 2025 Silent Auction party was a Silent Disco Party! Disco attire was highly encouraged!
Presale tickets provided you:
- Dinner Plate
- Drinks
- Silent Disco Headphone Rental
We had a blast dancing the night away & supporting our school community!
