Everyone likes a good auction, right? Well one of the island’s top auctions is happening now and it benefits an amazing cause – the children living in this little slice of heaven of ours.
Gifft Hill School is the St. John’s only preschool through high school program. Its mission is to educate, empower and support children in preparation for college, careers, and their roles as stewards of our island and global community. One of the best parts about Gifft Hill School, in my opinion, is that it provides scholarships for the majority of its students. I spent some time over at the school a few weeks ago and the work being done there is truly mind boggling. (We will have more on that later this month.)

For whatever reason I can’t get the link to work. I tried going through their website too and that didn’t work either for me, even on different browsers.
