If you or someone you know would like to share their culture, traditions, artistry, or story with our community, we are grateful for the experience to learn with you. If interested, please click here to sign up and PAS will reach out to coordinate.

Please consider running or nominating someone to make sure that the school continues to operate at the same level in the future. We are also seeking people to serve on the nominating committee to help guide the elections process. More details can be found HERE.
