*Littleton Public Schools Foundation Virtual 2020 Spirit Celebration

Admit it, you miss shopping. We do too.
So since you can't physically go to the mall or your favorite boutique or restaurant or brew pub (at least not quite yet), we certainly can bring them to you!

We've transformed the Spirit Celebration into a week-long event and it's open to everyone! So don't be shy, please share the news with all of your LPS friends!

Beginning Saturday, May 9th, you can begin browsing - and bidding in - our awesome silent auction. Generous local businesses donated the items, so when you bid and win, the entire community wins! The auction will be open through May 16th.

Join us LIVE on Saturday, May 16th, promptly at 7:00pm for an inspiring and fun virtual event where we'll come together to celebrate our LPS community, our heroic educators, and support our kids! Live link can be found here on May 16th


We need your help in raising critical funds to support emerging and ongoing needs for LPS students, educators, and schools!
For today, tomorrow, and next year - all proceeds go to support:

*Connectivity & Food Assistance

*Grant funding for Teachers
*Professional Development
*And much, much more!
