Giving Tuesday is in two days! Great news: a group of PAS families have banded together to create a match incentive totaling $12,500. When you donate, your donation will be matched by this generous group. Thank you, match families!

Between donations that have come in through Penn employees and the expected Penn's Way match, families who have already donated this fall, and now this PAS family match, we have already raised $58,308 towards our $75,000 goal - only $16,692 to go! We can do this, but only with your help.

Our grade participation contest is heating up too - don't let your kids down in their goal of a free recess. Every dollar counts and is appreciated!

Your dollars help fund:

• teaching materials
• classroom and afterschool programming
• professional development opportunities for teachers
• teacher and staff appreciation
• campus and building improvements
• field trips for all
• full time arts program

Please help us meet our $75,000 goal between now and December 3!! Donate HERE, and thank you!
