Pretzel Days!

Pretzel Day is a beloved PAS tradition for the children. This year we will have one per month, on occasional Thursdays, for a total of 10 Pretzel Days. The next one is October 29.
 
Students can buy pretzels the day of with $2 cash.
 
On the same payment form, you can pre-pay for dress-down days which support various charitable causes chosen by members of Student Council.

Kids and adults: Come to school on October 30 dressed as your favorite book character! 

To ensure everyone's safety, toy weapons, masks, and costumes involving cultural appropriation are not permitted. Faces need to stay fully visible for safety, and costumes should avoid stereotyping or mocking any cultures or identities.

Also, Penn Alexander School will be hosting its 25th Annual Harvest Food Drive to support the University City Hospitality Coalition. Drop off food and toiletries at school by November 16 or make a donation to UCHC. Learn more HERE.
