Your support helps all of our students reach for the stars!
| We’re grateful to all who have already donated to our PPAS Stars Annual Fund— an investment in the dreams and discoveries that will shape our students’ futures. With your support, our classrooms transform into vibrant studios, rehearsal halls, and creative workshops where imagination takes center stage. Public education funds provide the basics, but it’s our collective generosity that fills our annual funding gap and powers the arts for every PPAS student. We’re inviting each family to contribute at whatever level is right for you, so that together we can realize the magic that our community can create! Every donation is tax deductible, and whether you’re making a one-time contribution or setting up a monthly gift, the process is quick and easy. Please give here today! No gift is too big or too small and your generosity is always greatly appreciated! |
Thank you for making our Benefit Bash such a blast!
We’re thrilled to report that the 2026 PPAS PTA Benefit Bash on May 3rd was a huge success and a good time was had by all! We set an all-time attendance record and we’re on track to exceed our fundraising goal by 50%!
Thanks to all who attended, volunteered, donated, sponsored, celebrated, provided auction items and in-kind donations, and joyfully cut a rug and had a fab time dancing to our DJ’s beats!
Special thanks to those donors helping us honor Parent Coordinator Teri Gindi, the 2026 Reach for the Stars Award recipient, while supporting the performing arts experience for all our fabulous kids at PPAS. Every amount, gesture and volunteer moment – no matter how big or how small – is contributing to our success!
We’re grateful to our mighty volunteer Benefit Bash Leadership Committee, who are still working to bring every facet of this effort to life!
If anyone would like to help with next year’s event – to find a venue, help secure in-kind beverage and auction donations and more – please contact our Co-VPs of Fundraising at VPFundraising@ppaspta.org. We intend to meet and kick off 2027 planning as soon as possible this fall!
Our amazing and inspiring Parent Coordinator Teri Gindi received the Reach for the Stars Award at the Bash event!
Be sure to check out the video featuring PPAS alumni and students helping us celebrate Teri by congratulating her here. They share how Teri has inspired them and how truly special she is to the PPAS community!
