Tara Griffith with Tim and Suzanne Griffith McAndrews..the family that plays together, stays together! To walk into the auditorium last week, one would have thought they had stepped into Atlantic City or Las Vegas! Parents and teachers alike came to play the tables and peruse the many items on the silent and live auction blocks. Due to the generosity of local vendors and faculty and parents, just the auction raised over $40,000 for the PTA! The winners of the annual limited raffle was announced as well. Former PTA Co-President Regina Biscardi and family won the $25,000 grand prize, while a friend of one of the school families took second prize at $2,500! Please visit our school website for more photos of the auction at www.advantageforlife.org!

Denise Teixeira, co-president, Christine Considine, Vice-President and Camille Darling, co-president, enjoy the fruits of their labor! Craps, anyone? Maureen Michel, PTA Secretary and Lorraine Levano, PTA Treasurer worked the cashier's table! Grand Prize winner, the Biscardi Family. Carmen Thomas, $2500 winner, with St. Joe's students Jack and Elizabeth McKay.
