"Kids go where there is excitement.  They stay where there is love"

There is not a greater challenge than to somehow capture the times you have loved as you raise your children.  In recognition of this, the Amber Room is pleased to offer an unparalleled collection of photographs of the children and writing by the children for bid and for sale as part of this year's auction for financial aid.  This photography and writing project may have captured what it is like to be a student in the Amber Room as has never before been possible.

There are three ways to take some part of this project home with you.

First, for the LIVE auction, there is ONE hardcover book, that will go to the highest bidder.  This book is an 11"x13" treasure.  It hs been signed by all of the children, includes photos of all the students (and teachers!) and includes writing by all of the children in their own hand and carefully reproduced.  You must see it to feel its magic (which you are encouraged to do before the live auction begins - by stopping into the Amber Room)

Second, there are small books for sale.  These contain the same beautiful images and the same writing.  They are 7"x7" and soft cover.  Parents can purchase these for $50 per book.  They will make fantastic gifts for grandparents or loved ones who are too far away to visit the classroom.

Finally, there is a photo gallery with photos that appear in the book, as well as other spectacular photos that did not make it in the book.  These are also available for purchase by going to www.dmpj.com then "Client Galleries".  The name of the Gallery is CMS Amber Room, password "amberroom", without quotes.  All of the  proceeds this year will be combined and will represent the Amber Room contribution to the Financial Aid program (which we hope will surpass last year's impressive combined Amber Room bid!)
