Picture Day

Please mark your calendars for PPAS Picture Day:  Monday, December 19th.  Every child 6-11 grade will have their portrait taken to be included in the 2023 yearbook.  If you are interested in purchasing a school picture package, you should have heard from Portraits USA with details.  If you did not receive communication from Portraits USA and are interested in purchasing a package, please contact Teri Gindi at tgindi@ppasshare.org.

All students will also be called during the day for a group picture of their performing arts major (or middle school grade).

Also, any 12th grade student who still needs a senior portrait done can have it done this day.

Middle School Musical Tickets

Royal Blood – Middle School Musical
Written by Kevin Townley
Music & Lyrics by Josh Franklin
Directed by Kyle Pleasant
Music Direction by Marissa Davis
December 15th-17th

The country is in trouble. The top 5% of the population has all the wealth while the bottom 95% pays all the tax; there’s no medical care; and the police have turned against the people. To make matters worse, children have begun to vanish…and the reason is the greatest horror of them all. It’s France in 1750 and King Louis XV just might be a vampire! Peasants, priests, and philosophers (hey Voltaire!) must come together to learn that when a crisis is met with superstition rather than compassion we really do get vampires…after all, what is a vampire if not a rich bloodsucker with no capacity for reflection?

Middle School Delegate Needed

Middle School Co-Delegate Election will be held during next month’s PTA Meeting.

We are seeking self-nominations from parents who would like to be a middle school co-delegate.

If interested, please send your name to president@ ppaspta.org. While anyone is welcome, ideally it would be wonderful to have a parent of a 6th or 7th grade student.

If you missed last week’s PTA meeting, here’s a link to the slide deck of what was discussed.
