Every year, the Chugach Educational Corporation hosts a lively auction to support Chugach Optional Elementary School.
The auction funds schoolwide upgrades for everything from furniture to technology as well as expanded learning opportunities for students through Outdoor School, Science Share, Mini Courses, and more. Please join us for a fun parent night out in support of Chugach Optional!
