VIDEO: You've Got Four Nights to Place Your Bids To Help TV Students
The annual auction to benefit Swampscott High School TV Productions students will run live, Monday through Thursday starting at 7:30 p.m.
Bidders hoping to get an Elvis action figure only have to turn on the TV and make a bid on The King, or any of the hundreds of other items available in this year’s student run auction to benefit the TV Production Department.
Viewers can tune in at 7:30 each evening to check out the great items in the auction, which will be running live on Channel 15 (Comcast) and on Channel 40 (Verizon).
“We’ve got many, many great items this year,” Tom Reid a TV Production teacher at Swampscott High School. “The students work very hard on this event, we are self-supporting and the auction is our most-watched program of the year.”
