How to Contact Elected Officials

Want to Take Action but Aren't Sure Where To Start?

 

There are many federal, state, and local policies that have a direct impact on our school community. Just as we are encouraged to share our stories within the PAS community, we should also share our stories with our elected officials – to let them know how their policies impact our families and our communities, and to advocate for the issues that matter most to us.

 

The PAS Equity Circle has put together a guide to help you get in touch with your representatives. This guide is not intended to tell you what to say, but simply to give you the tools to have your voice heard.

Sponsorship Help

1/29/2025 8:30 am

Help Gain Sponsorships for PAS

Connect us to potential generous businesses or

help solicit future sponsors or prizes

 

We have two big events coming up that need sponsorships from businesses: the 5K and the spring musical.

 

The 5K has sponsorships ranging from $250 - $3,500. Sponsors get their logo on the race t-shirt and potentially other perks such as providing their swag for the race bags and having a table presence at the race to promote their business. We also need prizes donated for the race -- gift certificates, free passes, tickets, products, etc.

 

The musical has program sponsorships ranging from $100 - $1500. Sponsors (and parents) can create an ad for the program. The bigger the sponsorship, the bigger and more prominent the ad.

 

We also need help contacting businesses and asking if they are interested in becoming a sponsor. If you can recommend or solicit any businesses, please let us know by submitting the sponsorship form!
