Our Progress
Help us reach our goal of $161,649 for the 2026–27 school year — everything the PA plans to spend on our kids.
Counts every dollar the PA has received this year — Annual Fund gifts, events, merchandise and more — as recorded by our treasurers, last updated October 23, 2026.
Our suggested ask is $400 per child, but every amount makes a difference. Give what feels right for your family.
