Auction Committee members

Parents, grandparents and friends of Briargrove Elementary put their boots on and headed out to a rodeo-themed party held at Tommie Vaughn Ford, raising over $35,000 for the PTO to reinvest in the school. The event featured a stocked bar underwritten by the BG Dad’s Club, Demeris Bar-B-Q, a cigar bar, a boot-shine station and a photo booth. The crowd danced and bid on student-created artwork, trips, jewelry and more. Pictured are Auction Committee members (back row, from left) Ashley Beck, Stephanie Wise, Laura Nelson, Natalie Buck, Emily Schulz, Greer Dexter, (front row, from left) Natalie Dawley, Dufresne Blume, Jennifer Dollinger, auction chair Julie Economides and Jill Smith.
