Clockwise from above left: Alastair Smith, 41, bid on his fourth-grade son Duncan’s painting; Trish Russel and Tami Nagato, both 46, checked out the Fuzzy Nation/Fuzzy Couture dachshund handbag, which is no longer made and is a collector’s piece valued at $200; Mariella DiIorio, who has a daughter in second grade at the Greenwich Village school, looked at the jewelry in the silent auction; Bob Caputo, 49, P.S. 41 school counselor, and school nurse Kathy Langer enjoyed a laugh in front of some student artwork for auction.
