Tell us all about your proposed event and we'll handle the ticketing and marketing. If you are interested in hosting a party to support our school please contact Amanda Walters at agwalters23@gmail.com.

CLASS PARTIES

With respect to current school safety, this year we are offering Class Parties as in-class events held during the school day. Class Parties may be purchased for $500 each for any Pre-K through 5th classroom rather than purchasing individual tickets. When a party is purchased for a classroom, the teacher and all students are invited for the fun!

Anyone may purchase a party for the benefit of one (1) classroom, but we also encourage families to join forces to select parties that their students will enjoy. Grandparents are also welcome to purchase these fun experiences for our students. Parties will be held on a mutually agreeable date with the teacher.

Out of respect for classroom instruction, purchases will be limited to no more than two (2) parties per classroom. The following classes have "maxed-out" the number of parties that can be purchased:

Pre-K3, Pre-K4A, KB-Faw, 1A-Meyer, 1B-Doyle, 2A-Abib, 2B-Macora, 3A-Loyo, 3B-Preuss, 4B-Gambertoglio, 5A-Graff, 5B-Ramirez, 6-2 Religion, 8-2 Religion. Thank you!!
