All sales support the Global Arts Plus PTA
The GAP PTA historically has had the ability, thanks to our families and community, to provide a $10,000 donation to Global Arts Plus to support our inclusive K-8th grade artist residencies. We encourage you to learn more about the amazing residencies each grade level receives on the PTA website. With the help of volunteers we plan community and family building events such as the annual school carnival and dances. We support our teachers at Lower and Upper campus by providing a $100 reimbursement for all full time licensed staff for classroom materials.
We would not be able to do this work without your interest, energy, and support. Every dollar given is very much appreciated and the gratitude for investing in our school and community is beyond measure.
