     This year will mark the 20th Anniversary of the Auction for Upland Hills School. This evening of fun, friends, good food and great auction items is the second largest contributor to the operating budget Upland Hills, after tuition. This community event provides each of us an opportunity to actively support the integrated "Whole Child" education that each child deserves. Upland Hills has the lowest tuition in all of the 23 schools that comprise AIMS, the Association of Independent Michigan Schools. By consciously involving yourself in creating this auction, you can help ensure low tuition rates for the coming year.

Please join us in celebrating the many "Traditions and Transitions" of Upland Hills School at this year's Auction. We look forward to contacting you to mutually discover what would be the best way for you to get involved.

Sincerely,

Auction Core Committee 2008:

Linda Bowers
Colleen Cavanagh
Robyn Christen
Rose Navarre
Mary Scholz
