KINGS BEACH, Calif. — The Kings Beach Elementary Parent-Teacher Organization has launched an online auction in an effort to raise funds for classroom needs.
The auction began Nov. 20 and runs through Dec. 7.
Items and packages up for bid include everything from skiing Squaw Valley, touring Pixar Studios, going inside an America’s Cup sailing team, wakeboarding on Lake Tahoe, to surfing in Mexico, among others, including a US Ski Team jacket worn by Tahoe’s own Travis Ganong.
