Thanks to some of our fabulous parents, your PTA has secured The Fleur Room — yes, that beautiful glass-encased rooftop bar with gorgeous 360-degrees views from the top of Moxy Hotel – Chelsea for our PPAS Benefit Bash. And it’s ours for the evening!
This is not a formal sit-down dinner or a stuffy fundraiser. It’s a chance to get dressed up (possibly in something floral-inspired?), take in those skyline views, enjoy some tasty bites, have some fun, bid on some great auction items, and get to know each other better.
While our kids shine on stage and screen, keeping us busy all year, this night brings together the adult community behind the scenes — parents, alumni, teachers, administrators, staff, and other friends.
Yes, it’s an important fundraiser for the PPAS PTA. Proceeds go directly toward enhancing production quality and the overall arts experience for every PPAS student. Bigger impact. More magic on stage and screen. We’re making this year’s event inviting and fun for everyone in our greater PPAS community, so we hope you will join us for a fun adults-only evening!
Regular single tickets are also available now: $65 Bronze, $90 Silver, or $125 Gold per person. Gold-level attendees will receive 10 raffle tickets each for special items in addition to the silent, online auction. Silver-level attendees will receive four raffle tickets each and Bronze-level attendees get two each!
Also, please consider purchasing one or more sponsored tickets that will help us host teachers, administrators, and other members of our community. Bring your partner. Bring a friend. Invite that parent whose kid practically lives at your home but you’ve never hung out. Reconnect with alumni. Chat with teachers about stuff that doesn’t revolve around your kids.
Raising performing arts kids can be full-on. This is our exhale. Sunset. Skyline. Community.
Please plan to join us and get your ticket here today!
Our beloved Parent Coordinator Teri Gindi will receive the 2026 Reach for the Stars Award, in recognition of her extraordinary contributions to our students, our school, our alumni, and our community over 30 years, at the event May 3rd.

The 2026 NYC School Survey is open now until April 1st! A paper copy was sent home with students. The PPAS survey raffle drawings are continuing – two family names will be selected and contacted directly.
Complete the survey on NYCSchoolSurvey.org, where it is available in 13 languages. You’ll need your students’s nine-digit student identification number, or OSIS, to begin filling out your survey online.
You can find the OSIS number on your student’s report card, or school ID card. Once on the Survey page, you must enter a lowercase “f”, followed by your child’s OSIS to access the survey. Note that the “f” must be lowercase.
Help us build an outstanding silent auction to support our kids!
Please help us succeed in our PPAS PTA Benefit Bash fundraising goals by gathering donations for our silent auction! The silent auction will be available online by April 19 and at our Benefit Bash on Sunday, May 3. All auction proceeds go directly toward elevating the arts experience for every PPAS student.
We’re seeking auction items of all kinds — and every contribution counts, big or small.
We welcome:
Gift cards (even a coffee treat from Starbucks!)
Dining experiences — from your favorite local takeout to high-end restaurants
Tickets to sporting events, Broadway shows, movies, concerts, performances
Gift baskets and specialty products
Professional services, college coaching, headshots, classes
One-of-a-kind experiences
Consider the businesses you visit every day — the café where you grab and go, your florist, hairdresser, local bistro, gym, etc. Many small businesses are delighted to contribute, especially when they hear about your student’s journey and growth at PPAS. Donations are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law.
Know a business owner? Reach out to your employer, local providers, family, friends, close connections. The more varied our auction items — at a range of values — the more funds we can raise while creating an exciting auction experience! Together, we can make the 2026 Benefit Bash a powerful fundraiser and invest in an even richer arts journey for our students, while snapping up some fabulous items and treats for ourselves.
Don’t miss the next general PTA meeting – join us in person in the PPAS Library or on Zoom for all the latest updates. See previous meeting minutes here.
