Guest Auctioneer Vangel Cotsis takes a bid during Saturday’s Thornton Fund Auction. The auction raised more than $100,000 to support academic and extracurricular programming, as well as funding to help students who face food insecurity or may need other basic necessities, such as eye glasses and winter coats. The in-person event returned after a two-year hiatus. Cotsis, who graduated from TA in 1985, also sits on the school’s Board of Trustees.

We believe it's important to offer commenting on certain stories as a benefit to our readers. At its best, our comments sections can be a productive platform for readers to engage with our journalism, offer thoughts on coverage and issues, and drive conversation in a respectful, solutions-based way. It's a form of open discourse that can be useful to our community, public officials, journalists and others.
We do not enable comments on everything — exceptions include most crime stories, and coverage involving personal tragedy or sensitive issues that invite personal attacks instead of thoughtful discussion.
