SPRING ANNUAL APPEAL
We as a Parent Association can't be successful education partners without the help of your donations. You can make a one-time donation during our semi-annual, or set up a recurring donation to cover the entire school year, but either way, everyone's help will make a difference!
There are many ways you can give, so visit our donation page to learn how you can help make a difference in areas such as:
School production props
Studio grant awards
Graduation scholarships
Teacher/Staff Appreciation
Student Enrichment Events (we have to keep our kids motivated!)
And more!
No donation amount is too big or too little. Keep in mind we are a 501c3 not for-profit entity, so check with your employer regarding any employer match opportunities as well!
