Annual Spring Soirée & Auction

Each spring, the Campus School community gathers for our Spring Soirée & Auction, one of the most joyful and anticipated events of the year. The evening brings together parents, alumni, faculty, staff, and friends of the school to celebrate our community while raising funds for financial aid and programs that support students and classrooms across the school.
