The first annual Raise the Stage event was held at BRIC Arts Media on Sunday, April 27.
Families joined the PTA for a casual afternoon of music, food, games, and fun. What an amazing day!
For many years, the PTA fundraiser was called Sip Into Spring. "Sip" was a classic, ticketed evening event for grown-ups only, with the silent auction and the beloved teachers' baskets. While it was always a blast, the PTA had been wishing we could make it easier to include more PS 230 families. Babysitting is hard to find! So we decided to shake it up: keep the baskets and the auction, but invite the kids. Make it 1 ticket per family. Include Ms. Suzi, obviously. Bring in games. In short: make it feel more like us.
We were thrilled with how the community made it happen! We hope those of you who joined has as much fun as we did.
Together, we raised $21,000 for PS 230!
The incomparable Ms. Suzi brought the house down!
Silent Auction items: experiences, artwork, classes, gift certificates, and more
Mr. Schorr and the PS 230 chorus wowed the crowd!
