This year’s Wonderland for Education is a direct result of the collaborative efforts of all seven public schools and the San Carlos community. Spring Fling has grown into the school district’s largest fundraising gala and an exciting community event. With your support, this year’s event will top them all. We will go down the rabbit hole to this spectacular event which will include silent and live auctions with fantastic trips and outings, parties, lessons, services, sports memorabilia, dining experiences, and activities for you, your kids, or your family. Don’t miss out on the diamond martinis with three beautiful prizes, a game of heads or tails with a prize worth over $500, the wall of wine where everyone wins, and our Spring Fling raffle with over 50 prizes. In addition we are going to gaze through the looking glass at Alice, the Queen of Hearts, the White Rabbit and more with a whimsical wonderland costume contest for anyone who wants to enter. The adventure will also include a casino featuring blackjack and a poker tournament held after the live auction. Before the live band takes the stage, everyone will have a chance to give to Fund-A-Need which will support math and technology in our schools. However you choose to give during the night, your donation will help support every student, every week, at every school in the district. Please take time to review the items listed in this catalog and arrive early to participate in all of the activities. Don’t be late…don’t be late for this very important date…The silent auction will close at 7:30, 7:45 and 8:00 according to the schedule in this catalog. We hope that everyone will bid high and bid often to continue the wonderment of education for our kids! It has been our pleasure and privilege to serve as Co-Chairs this year. All of this would not be possible without the dedication of hundreds of volunteers. We would like to acknowledge and thank the Spring Fling Advisory Board for their leadership, the SCEF and PTACC for their collaborative efforts and support, and the Spring Fling Planning Committee members for their attention to details. We would also like to thank all of the students and families who sold raffle tickets as well as everyone who attends, participates as an absentee bidder, or donates to Fund-A-Need. Over the past 7 years, Spring Fling raised approximately $1.8 million and we have challenged ourselves to raise close to $500,000 this year to help meet the $2 million goal of SCEF - a goal that is only possible with your support. Thank you in advance for your generosity and for joining us in making a difference for our children. Together we can enhance the wonderland of education! Keeping our kids engaged and providing them the necessities of learning. This is our community’s success; we couldn’t do it without you…Thank You! Kim Kondo & Jayne Smith, Event Co-Chairs Cris Adair, Spring Fling Director OUR MISSION Over eight years ago, Spring Fling was created to develop a San Carlos Community event that leverages the resources of all seven schools in order to fund valuable programs in the schools. It’s leadership team, the Spring Fling Advisory Board, consists of representatives from each of the seven schools and a representative each from the SCEF, the PTA Coordinating Council, and the San Carlos School District. The primary role of the board is to give all schools and sponsoring organizations a voice in setting the overall policies for the event, advocate the important benefit of shared community building and fundraising and be key leaders in the planning committee. The Spring Fling Advisory Board would like to extend a special thank you to Kim Kondo, Jayne Smith and Cris Adair for the amazing job they have done again this year and to all the volunteers whose countless hours and dedication are directly responsible for the success of this event. We are grateful for your commitment and energy. 2010-2011 Spring Fling Advisory Board School Representatives Tara Saul, Arundel Phaidra Garcia, Brittan Acres Lauren Pachkowski, Central Chris Cook, Charter Learning Center Patti Lorin & Surrina Plemons, Heather Laurie Gibson, Tierra Linda Susana Lerner, White Oaks Additional Representatives Cris Adair, Spring Fling Director Lisa Costello, Past Co-Chair Spring Fling Kim Kondo & Jayne Smith, Co-Chair Spring Fling Jennifer Kaufman & Sallie Gasparini, SCEF Kelly Price, SCSD Terri Somers & Annie Mayoss, Treasurer Kate Wormington, PTA CC Thank you also to all those in attendance for supporting our schools and our children, and for making Spring Fling 2011 a huge success!

This year’s theme, Wonderland For Education, embodies the curiosity and love of learning we hope to nurture and inspire in our children. The San Carlos Educational Foundation raises funds for programs that support the needs of the whole child. These programs, including music, PE, literacy, library, counseling, fine arts and technology, would not be available to our San Carlos kids without your support. The programs funded by your contributions help provide the tools children need to gain self-esteem, learn teamwork and leadership, and build the foundations for success. All children deserve the opportunity to fly - so please BID OFTEN and BID HIGH! The money raised at this event will improve the educational opportunities available to students in San Carlos public schools. We would like to thank the families, businesses and community supporters that so generously contributed to Spring Fling, and the hundreds of volunteers that spent thousands of hours to make this enchanting event come to life. Spring Fling is a celebration of our collective commitment to public education in San Carlos, and we thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your support. 6 Thank you San Carlos! Sallie Gasparini & Jennifer Kaufman SCEF Co-Presidents Spring Fling 2011 Spring Fling 2011 MESSAGE FROM THE PTA C O OR DINATIN G C OUN CIL On behalf of the San Carlos PTA Coordinating Council, we would like to welcome you to the Spring Fling 2011 “Wonderland for Education”! Our Council is a committee of your PTA Presidents, the San Carlos Educational Foundation, your school principals and the San Carlos District Administration working together to collaborate and support the needs of all of the children in our seven schools. Therefore, it makes perfect sense that our council is thrilled and proud to cosponsor the Spring Fling, which not only provides necessary funding to our schools but also creates an opportunity for us to “party for our children” together. The value of the Spring Fling to our San Carlos schools is immeasurable. It helps our children, through increased funding. It provides unity in the form of ONE major fundraiser. It brings our parents together for a fun evening and for many, it provides that ultimate bonding opportunity – volunteering. We are grateful to all of those who have made donations for Spring Fling, so please BID OFTEN and BID HIGH! “This is impossible... Only if you believe it is...” – Alice and the Mad Hatter We’d like to give a special thanks to all of those who have sacrificed their evenings, weekends and free time to create this amazing event. So from one set of parents to you – please have a wonderful evening! Janet Hall President, PTACC 2010-2011 Spring Fling 2011 7 S PECI AL TH ANK S !

This year, the San Carlos School District has asked Spring Fling to once again bring our focus to math and to our ever present need in technology. The total amount raised will be distributed equally up to $5,000 per school, and then on a per student basis at each school site. Each school site can then use this FAN money to support the greatest needs at their specific campus in either of these two categories. Whether the school uses these funds for calculators, manipulatives, computers, and/or smart boards, your support will provide tools for our children to have endless possibilities. The monies raised from Fund-A-Need will once again be matched, up to $40,000, by Beth and Mike Hunkapiller. Our auctioneer will ask for donations from $50 to $5,000. With the matching contributions, your donation of $1,000 can immediately become a $2,000 benefit to our children and our schools. Your donation is fully tax-deductible as allowed by law and will help us reach our goal of $100,000. Through your contributions, we encourage discovery and learning without limits. Please pledge generously. Thank you – Lauren Pachkowski 2011 FAN Committee Chairperson “Let me see: four times five is twelve, and four times six is thirteen, and four times seven is-- oh dear! I shall never get to twenty at that rate!” – Alice (Chapter 2) n ote fr o m th e s u PER INTEN D ENT I believe Alice (in Wonderland) was thinking of funding in California when she said that things keep getting “curiouser and curiouser…” But just when our children’s education was destined for that rabbit hole, you came through…again! After months of hard work, worrying, and planning for major cuts, in the end we were able to save or reinstate nearly all personnel and programs with few exceptions. This we were able to do only because of you and your unwavering generosity and commitment to our public schools! I am in absolute awe of what this community can and does accomplish for its children. And the entire community of San Carlos is better for it. In just 18 short months of being Superintendent in San Carlos, I have come to know one truth: the San Carlos community will accept no less than excellence from its schools. This is our proud tradition. And the District’s ability to continue this tradition depends on events like Spring Fling to not just “get us through” these difficult financial times, but to soar through them. I offer my deepest gratitude to each and every one of you—the businesses, community members, teachers, administrators, parents, families, and friends of the schools—for your contributions to the San Carlos Educational Foundation this past year. Alice also asked, “Which road do I take?” Clearly we have together chosen the road with excellent schools, and your support has made the difference! Sincerely, Craig Baker Superintendent Spring Fling 2010 11 C H ECK-IN PR O C ESS The check-in process should be smooth and easy with a dozen check-in stations.

Spring Fling 2011 17 AU CTION R UL ES SIL ENT AU CTION Silent Auction items are displayed on tables and are sold by silent bidding. Bidding on the Silent Auction begins at 6:00 pm (5:30 for VIP guests) and runs continuously until a table closes. There will be staggered table closings beginning at 7:30 pm, and continuing in accordance with the schedule in this catalog. Note: table closing times may be altered if necessary. How to Bid: All items in the Silent Auction will have bid sheets posted nearby. To make a bid, legibly write your name, bid, and bid number on the next available bid line. Bids may only be made for the incremental amounts indicated on the bid sheet. You may bid on any item as often as you wish. It should go without saying, but please play fair—do not cross out bids (yours or those of others), bid on crossed out spaces, prevent or delay others from bidding, etc. Such practices may result in disqualification from winning an item. Remember, the goal here is to raise funds for our kids. You may find some real deals on items in the auction. If you bid over the fair-market value of an item, the excess payment may be tax-deductible! (Please consult your tax advisor for details.) Please pay attention to all conditions, restrictions and expiration dates on items and services. In general all services, tickets, gift certificates, etc. must be used within one year of the auction and take place at a mutually agreeable time between donor and purchaser, except where noted. Restaurant gift certificates do not include tax, tips, wine or any other alcoholic beverages. If you have a winning bid when a table closes, your signature on the bid sheet constitutes a legal contract to buy the corresponding item. Types of Bids: a. Highest Bid: Most items in the auction will be sold to the single bidder who has bid the highest amount when the table is closed. b. Multiple Highest Bids: There may be items, especially in the categories of School/Teacher Events and parties in Just for Parents, where items will be awarded to Multiple Highest Bidders, at the donor’s request. In that case, the description for the item will clearly indicate that there may be multiple winning bidders. Usually, there will be a single bid sheet and the top predetermined number of bidders will win. Please note, it may be the case that not all winners will pay the same price in such multiple highest bidder situations. But ultimately we all win by raising money for our schools! c. Sign Up Bids: There are a few items that will also have multiple winners, however these are set at a fixed price and a limited number of spots are available on a first come, first served basis. These items will go to the first bidders who sign up for the fixed price until spots are no longer available. d. Early & Absentee Bids: Auction items in the school specific categories and others are open to early and absentee bidding through February 18th. The highest bidder may be posted on the website before the event, and will be identified on the bid sheet prior to the auction. If an early/absentee bid qualifies as a single or multiple winner at the close of the auction, they will pay the amount bid. Others may bid higher at the auction according to these rules. In a multiple winner auction item, the early/absentee bid may be significantly higher than other winners. Their bid was set during the early/absentee bidding process, and we all win by raising money for our schools. 18 Spring Fling 2011 Table Closings: Closing times for each Silent Auction table are posted in the schedule. Announcements will be made prior to each table closing. At the official closing time, an auction official will circle the top bid number and amount. The closing bid circled by the auction official constitutes the winning bid and any subsequent bidding is invalid. In the event of active bidding by more than one bidder at table closing time, an auction official may in his or her discretion, keep an item open longer, solicit additional bids, or move an item to the Live Auction. In all cases of dispute, the decision of the auction official is final. If a table closes and there are items for which no one has yet made a valid bid, those items may remain open for bidding at the discretion of the auction official. LIVE AU CTION The Live Auction will begin at approximately 8:30 pm. To bid on an item during the Live Auction, raise this Auction Catalog, showing your bid number on the back. The auctioneer will note your bid and the highest bid buys the item. In all cases of dispute, the auctioneer’s decision is final. Auction Winnings: If your winning item is a physical item, like a store gift certificate, electronic device, or sporting goods, you will be able to pick up your items at DaVinci Marble in San Carlos during the week after the event according to the posted schedule. VIP guests and transportation package purchasers will have their winning items delivered to their home. More information is available on the website at www.springfling.us.

Their goal is to find ways to teach each child in our district. To do so, teachers need access to the latest research, workshops and hands-on courses taught by industry leaders. With expected budget cuts, our teachers will lose over $5,000 per school previously allocated to fund participation in professional development workshops and seminars. These programs are essential for our teachers to stay in touch with current trends in education and excite them to teach in new ways. For example, teachers attended the exciting NSTA (National Science Teacher Association) workshop which costs $250, or the “Making Math Real” workshop which costs $475. The invaluable Asilomar Math conference ($900 each) teaches new math techniques. Other teachers have attended the Marcy Cook 2-day math workshop which costs $500. Still other workshops that teachers hope to attend include NOYCE (math and science), CLAD, and Cooperative Learning. To support the ongoing professional development of our teachers, Spring Fling and the PTA Coordinating Council have created the Teacher Development Fund. All donations received will be given to the principals to pay for professional development programs. Donations in any amount are appreciated and will be distributed equitably among the seven public schools in San Carlos. You will find this item listed multiple times in the silent auction under each school. Please pledge generously.
