The PPAS Class of 2028 is taking the stage and you won’t want to miss it!
Join us on May 22nd at 7pm in the PPAS Auditorium for an unforgettable night of musical theater presented by PPAS and Rosie’s Theater Kids.
Grab your tickets here now!
Don’t miss the PPAS at Rosie’s Theater Kids production of “Violet” directed by Kyle Pleasant, with musical direction by Arri Simon!
Set in 1964, “Violet” follows a bold young woman on a bus ride from North Carolina to Tulsa, chasing a miracle — and maybe something even bigger. Along the way, unexpected friendships challenge everything she thought she knew about beauty, love, and herself. Raw, soulful, and deeply moving, this stunning musical explores self-acceptance, racial prejudice, and the space between how we look and who we truly are.
This is PPAS storytelling at its finest — and it’s coming to the intimate Black Box Theater at PPAS for just five performances only!
Join us for The Ailey School & PPAS Spring Dance Performance — an incredible showcase of our talented PPAS high school dancers’ artistry, dedication and passion.
Reserve your seats here today! Only three performances:
Gift Some Gorgeous Flowers: Make the moment extra special with a beautiful mixed floral bouquet available for convenient pick-up at Ailey during the performance — no need to carry flowers across the city, just arrive and enjoy!
Feed a Dancer: Show your support by adding a “Feed a Dancer” contribution at checkout to help keep them energized. Many families add more than one to help provide a full meal — every bit counts!
Get Tickets & Pre-Order Flowers Here or text aileyppasspring26 to 33100
Every ticket, bouquet, and contribution go directly towards supporting our students and the vibrant arts community at PPAS.

Your support helps all of our students reach for the stars!
| We’re grateful to all who have already donated to our PPAS Stars Annual Fund— an investment in the dreams and discoveries that will shape our students’ futures. With your support, our classrooms transform into vibrant studios, rehearsal halls, and creative workshops where imagination takes center stage. Public education funds provide the basics, but it’s our collective generosity that fills our annual funding gap and powers the arts for every PPAS student. We’re inviting each family to contribute at whatever level is right for you, so that together we can realize the magic that our community can create! Every donation is tax deductible, and whether you’re making a one-time contribution or setting up a monthly gift, the process is quick and easy. Please give here today! No gift is too big or too small and your generosity is always greatly appreciated! |
We came. We celebrated. We CRUSHED it!
The Benefit Bash was one for the books — and so were the results. We are thrilled to share that we exceeded our fundraising goal!
A huge thank you to our incredible PTA team, our amazing families and friends, and every generous sponsor and donor who continues to make it all possible.
Full recap, photos, and all the highlights coming soon — after a much-needed bit of recovery time.
Our beloved Parent Coordinator Teri Gindi received the 2026 Reach for the Stars Award at the PPAS PTA Benefit Bash on May 3, 2026, in recognition of her extraordinary contributions to our students, our school, our alumni, and our community for nearly 30 years.
Many thanks to everyone who came out to celebrate Ms. Gindi!
We’re grateful for your support and help to make the 2026 PPAS PTA Benefit Bash a blooming success!
