Lunch Box Auction – Holy Cross High School
Holy Cross High School in Saskatoon hosted its 10th Annual Lunch Box Auction in support of Development and Peace on May 13th.
Classes prepared lunches which were then auctioned off and purchased by students. Each lunch had a themeincluding a Medieval Feast for 12, an Avatar party for 10, a Tailgating party for 8 and even a Pork Roast for 30. In all there were 23 meals. The goal in bidding on a lunch is to pay the highest price for a meal, not to get the best deal!
One of the most coveted meals is the Staff Room Lunch. Each year the Grade 12 class competes with the staff to purchase a lunch which is then served in the school staff room. This year the students won it again. For the privilege of eating in the hallowed staff room the students paid over $17,000! The generosity of our student body is overwhelming.
The total amount raised was $31,037.35. The auction is a great project for developing a spirit of solidarity among our students and with others in the Global South.

Ever wondered how the Box Lunch Auction got so big and did so well? A small committee starts it off every year until the entire school is involved. Here’s their how-to video!
That’s amazing! Congrats to all the students for a job incredibly well done!!
