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.
All 7th grade students will participate in a one day Renaissance celebration to enhance their social science curriculum. Students will enjoy a special day with their classmates discovering the splendor of the Renaissance era.
In order to make this day as fun and educational as possible, please donate using the below link. If you'd like to volunteer, please email Evelyn Huang at evandd88@gmail.com.

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.

It is our wish to make sure all 200 Matching Fund Scholarships are gifted once again.
