Join us tonight to hear about cost breakdowns, our goals going forward, and to learn how you can get involved (if you’d like- no obligation! You can just come to listen!)
Note: the $/upgrades/opportunities/events etc. would NOT have been possible or available to our students or school if it wasn’t for the PSPA and families who support and volunteer for fundraisers and events. Just wanted to say such a heart felt thank you to our entire parent/family community for all that you do (many schools go without any of this - the things mentioned above are extras (school budgets/school fees don’t pay for them), that require an active parent association and community in order to make them possible, and many schools don’t have this!) Also a HUGE thank you goes out to our school for scheduling and organizing the upgrades and residencies listed above, because without their cooperation they wouldn’t happen either. We should all be so immensely proud of our accomplishments!!
See you tonight!
