About Our Auction
Pre-K 4 SA’s Gracias San Antonio: Children Are Citizens Project is grounded in the belief that children are not just future citizens but are citizens of the city with the right to express their opinions and participate in the civic and cultural life of San Antonio. As citizens of the community, children learn the value of civic engagement, as well as various means for participation including giving back.
Gracias begins with the children’s participation in a program-wide election in November to vote on a local non-profit to support for the academic year. This year our children, families, and staff elected Thru Project to support throughout the year.
Children and families engage in City Explorations throughout the year by visiting different places around San Antonio. Local artists join children in the classroom to create authentic art pieces using a variety of artistic mediums to express the children’s perspective of their city and the places they visit.
Thereafter, the art pieces are then showcased in a gallery and auctioned to raise money for the non-profit selected earlier in the year.
