NEW YORK (AP) – Bale sales and raffles? So passé.

Now that it boasts Madonna as a parent, New York City’s LaGuardia High School was able to auction off a pair of Chanel boots worn by the Material Mom at its spring fundraiser.

LaGuardia, the so-called “Fame” school, is a public high school specializing in the visual and performing arts. Madonna’s daughter Lourdes enrolled there in September.

The Daily News reports that the LaGuardia auction also featured an item donated by novelist Jonathan Letham, who’s an alum. He auctioned off a chance to become a character in his next book.

There was no information on what either of the lots sold for.

High-profile parents at some New York City schools are able to raise hundreds of thousands of dollars at the schools’ annual auctions.
