We are thrilled to celebrate with you on our campus home.

All sales and bids are FINAL. There will be no refunds or exchanges. Many of the items have specific conditions such as time limits or availability. All auction items or services must be used by the specified expiration date. The descriptions of the articles sold are believed to be accurate; however, neither Island School nor the auctioneer assumes any responsibility for inaccuracies. According to the Internal Revenue Service, "only the amount paid for an item in excess of the actual fair market value is tax deductible."
