From the HSA...

We have launched our Giving Tuesday (December 3) appeal in support of Penn Alexander School.

The financial contributions parents, guardians, and community members make to the HSA are critical to making Penn Alexander the school that we all know and love. These funds support teaching materials, classroom and afterschool programming, professional development, teacher and staff appreciation, campus and building improvements, and field trips. In addition, the HSA has pledged $50,000 each year to support the school’s full time arts program – one of our most important commitments that supports every student, every week, in every grade.

Please help us meet our $75,000 goal between now and December 3!! Donate HERE, and thank you!

Don't forget to first check your employer for matching gift possibilities including the Penn Giving Campaign - Penn's Way. Through this campaign, Penn will MATCH any donation to PAS until the November 22nd deadline. If you plan to donate to PAS this year, please take advantage of this opportunity for matching through the Penn campaign. Please notify Finance@HSAPennAlexander.org of your matching contribution amount so we can count it towards our goal.
