Thanks to some of our fabulous parents, your PTA has secured The Fleur Room — yes, that beautiful glass-encased rooftop bar with gorgeous 360-degrees views from the top of Moxy Hotel – Chelsea for our PPAS Benefit Bash. And it’s ours for the evening!

This is not a formal sit-down dinner or a stuffy fundraiser. It’s a chance to get dressed up (possibly in something floral-inspired?), take in those skyline views, enjoy some tasty bites, have some fun, bid on some great auction items, and get to know each other better. 

While our kids shine on stage and screen, keeping us busy all year, this night brings together the adult community behind the scenes — parents, alumni, teachers, administrators, staff, and other friends.

Yes, it’s an important fundraiser for the PPAS PTA. Proceeds go directly toward enhancing production quality and the overall arts experience for every PPAS student. Bigger impact. More magic on stage and screen. We’re making this year’s event inviting and fun for everyone in our greater PPAS community, so we hope you will join us for a fun adults-only evening! 

Note: Higher ticketing tiers include additional perks — see full details on the RallyUp ticket page. Early Bird opportunity: Bronze $55, Silver $80, or Gold $115 per person but act fast! There are only 20 tickets available at each of those price points, and the discount expires next Thursday, March 26, so grab your reduced price tickets today! 

Regular single tickets are also available now: $65 Bronze, $90 Silver, or $125 Gold per person.

Also, please consider purchasing one or more sponsored tickets that will help us host teachers, administrators, and other members of our community. The Fleur Room capacity is 200, and we’d love to see it full!

Bring your partner. Bring a friend. Invite that parent whose kid practically lives at your home but you’ve never hung out. Reconnect with alumni. Chat with teachers about stuff that doesn’t revolve around your kids.

Raising performing arts kids can be full-on. This is our exhale. Sunset. Skyline. Community.

Our night — for our kids. Please plan to join us and get your ticket today! 

PTA Benefit Bash Auction

Help us build an outstanding silent auction to support our kids!

Please help us succeed in our PPAS PTA Benefit Bash fundraising goals by gathering donations for our silent auction! The silent auction will be available online by April 19 and at our Benefit Bash on Sunday, May 3. All auction proceeds go directly toward elevating the arts experience for every PPAS student.

We’re seeking auction items of all kinds — and every contribution counts, big or small. 

We welcome:  

  • Gift cards (even a coffee treat from Starbucks!)
  • Dining experiences — from your favorite local takeout to high-end restaurants
  • Holiday stays or getaway packages
  • Artwork, collectibles, luxury items, sports memorabilia
  • Tickets to sporting events, Broadway shows, movies, concerts, performances
  • Gift baskets and specialty products
  • Professional services, college coaching, headshots, classes
  • One-of-a-kind experiences

Consider the businesses you visit every day — the café where you grab and go, your florist, hairdresser, local bistro, gym, etc. Many small businesses are delighted to contribute, especially when they hear about your student’s journey and growth at PPAS. Donations are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law.

Know a business owner? Reach out to your employer, local providers, family, friends, close connections. The more varied our auction items — at a range of values — the more funds we can raise while creating an exciting auction experience!
Together, we can make the 2026 Benefit Bash a powerful fundraiser and invest in an even richer arts journey for our students, while snapping up some fabulous items and treats for ourselves.

“Dracula” Opens March 26th!

PPAS x Rosie’s Theater Kids Present … DRACULA!

~ The 11th and 12th Grade Drama Program Production ~
 
A wickedly theatrical reinvention of the classic tale directed by Roger Manix — where the women step out of the shadows, and when the predator strikes, they strike harder!

When your survival is at stake… will you be able to distinguish the monster from the man? Both terrifying and riotous, Kate Hamill’s imaginative, gender-bending “feminist revenge fantasy” is like no Dracula you’ve ever seen—exploring the nature of predators and reinventing the story as a smart, disquieting, darkly comic drama. Hamill’s signature style and postmodern wit upends this familiar tale of Victorian vampires—driving a stake through the heart of toxic masculinity.

Come experience Dracula as you’ve never seen it before — smart, unsettling, and electrifying.

When: March 26-28, 2026
Where: PPAS Auditorium

Get your tickets here or text ‘Dracula2026’ to 33100 (in the US) or (855) 202-2100 (outside US).

PTA Co-Presidents Letter

Say it Loud, Say it Clear — We’re Building Community Here!
Hello PPAS Community,
As we gear up for the 2025-26 school year, we are filled with excitement and pride to welcome back every member of our one-of-a-kind PPAS family. Together, we carry forward a legacy of passion, creativity, and community that’s made our school a shining beacon of arts and learning.

We are the PPAS PTA — a dedicated team of parent advocates, arts champions, and school partners who cheer loudly from the sidelines, fill seats at performances, support our incredible school leaders, and ensure the voices of our students and families are heard. Because when PPAS shines, we all shine!

Our commitment this year is to continue rallying behind our kids, fueling the arts, and turning parent power into community magic — one performance, meeting, and high-five at a time.Our values guide us every step of the way:

1. Support Through Service: We uplift students, teachers, and arts partners by actively fundraising, volunteering, and providing the resources needed to help every learner and program succeed.

2. Connection Through Equity: We foster a welcoming, inclusive community by building strong, empathetic relationships among parents, teachers, and staff — ensuring every voice is heard and valued.

3. Empowerment Through Engagement: We promote leadership, collaboration, and transparency by encouraging parent participation in school governance, decision-making, and community-building.

As our Principal Leah Dyer says, PPAS is “one extraordinary 6–12 school with incredible staff, inspiring partnerships, and endless student talent.” Together, we are honored to be part of this story — adding our energy and enthusiasm to the chapters yet to come.

We look forward to an unforgettable year of growth, creativity, and community with you all!

Warmly,
Ruth & Raven (“R&R”)
