Parras PTSA 2022-23 Goals Survey
Please help us plan the 2022-23 school year to maximize our effectiveness in serving the Parras community. 2020-2022 has been a challenging period for Parras PTSA. At some points our activities were very limited and we had to think outside the box. As we hopefully return to the "new normal", the incoming board would like to set our goals and priorities for our programs.
We will hold an opportunity drawing for everyone who responds to the survey at our May 25th Association Meeting. The winner can choose between a prize of two bottles of wine from Lazy Acres or a mixing bowl set from Charleston Wrap.

Performing Arts Workshops, WINNER, BEST SUMMER CAMP in LA Parent Magazine. For fourteen years, PAW’s Matching Fund Scholarship program has enabled thousands of children throughout Los Angeles to enjoy the benefits of an arts education. We are very excited to announce that our donor has stepped forward for the 14th year to make the matching fund scholarships available once more. It is our wish to make sure all 200 Matching Fund Scholarships are gifted once again.
These special scholarships have been made available for us to give as a matching fund. Our donor believes that an arts education is essential for a child’s growth and development and is sponsoring half the tuition for up to 50 children at each camp site. Each Matching Fund Scholarship provides half of the tuition for our two week MUSICAL THEATER CAMP when the parent matches the remaining $425.
It is our donor’s request that the scholarships have no conditions or prerequisites. We are gifting these scholarships immediately. To receive one of these scholarships please call us at (310) 827-8827 and mention “Matching Fund Scholarships.” For more information about us visit PerformingArtsWorkshops.com. Camp Locations In: West LA, Studio City, Redondo Beach, Pasadena, El Segundo, Northridge, and Rancho Palos Verdes!
