A night of inspiration, celebration, and unwavering support for public education in Round Rock ISD

This event brings together parents, educators, advocates, and community leaders who believe that every student deserves access to a strong public school — regardless of their zip code.

All proceeds will benefit Access Education RRISD and support nonpartisan, pro–public education candidates in the 2026 election.

Silent Auction is LIVE!

With four school board seats on the ballot in 2026, this election will shape the future of our district. All proceeds from the Silent Auction will fund get-out-the-vote efforts to help elect nonpartisan, pro-public education trustees who will stand up for every student.

Bidding closes on Friday, September 19th, at 9:30 pm. You do not have to be present at A Novel Gala to win.

What to expect

A lively evening with dinner, drinks, and entertainment. Dress code is dressy casual. Silent auction featuring one-of-a-kind items and experiences. The Silent Auction will open online before the Gala, and bidding closes at the event. Opportunities to connect with others who are passionate about education equity.
