The Z is none other than the infamous Zilker Elementary Art Auction - one of the best Art Auctions just west of SoCo.
All Zilker Students. 100% of the money raised by your donations goes directly to the PTA Arts in Education Fund, which allows us to provide art programming for the entire student body. Because at Zilker, we believe that music, movement, literature and visual arts are an essential part of every child’s development.
So far this year, PTA Arts in Education has funded several performances (including One World Theater & Austin Ballet), hosted the Holiday Sing-Along & Trail of Lights, provided campus beautification (Portable Painting Workshops, Guitar Art Project, Music Mosaic) and have several more scheduled programs for this current school year that still need funding.

WHEN: February 8-10
(during the day)
FAMILY NIGHT: Thursday, February 9
5:00 p.m. – 8:00 p.m.
WHERE: Library
The Family Night continues to be a wonderful opportunity for parents to attend with their children. Students may sign up for a drawing for free books that night. Two names will be drawn for $50 each to be spent at the fair ($25 for the student and $25 for the classroom.) Hula on over wikiwiki to the luau and enjoy a sampling of these wonderful books.
CLASSROOM WISH LIST
This program is the Big Kahuna of our book luau. Teachers will select books and place them under their bags. Slips will be made for each selection. Simply take the slip and the book up to the cashier. A bookplate will be inserted with the desired name and the book will be placed in the bag to be delivered to the classroom. Kids take pride in spotting their names on the bookplates of donated books, while parents feel good about giving to a program that enriches the lives of their children and classmates. What a wonderful way to say MAHALO (THANK YOU) to your child’s teacher.
All Book Fair purchases help raise money to support the library program.
