From the HSA...

Our Giving Tuesday appeal in support of Penn Alexander School is going strong. We are thrilled to announce that Penn employees (and adding in the expected Penn's Way match contribution too) have donated $31,027 to the PAS HSA. Add that to the $17,443 already raised, and that means that we have raised a total of $48,470 towards our $75,000 goal! If you have donated through Penn's Way, please notify Finance@HSAPennAlexander.org of your matching contribution amount so we can count it towards our goal.

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!
