The Newberry Math And Science Academy--an elementary Chicago Public School (Pre K-8) with a curriculum emphasis on math and science--will launch their first online auction starting today and running through March 28. The auction is hosted by Bidding For Good, and will feature a wide range of items to bid on, including Bulls courtside seats and Cubs tickets. New items are also being added every day.

The Friends of Newberry not-for-profit organization is affiliated with the Newberry Math and Science Academy and it encompasses all the fundraising committees of the school and the Newberry Parent Teacher Organization (PTO). The funds raised from the auction will go towards technological upgrades such as computer and network infrastructure and other educational improvements.
