INVEST SOCIAL SAVE THE DATE – AUGUST 25TH
Parents, this night is for you!
We’re excited to invite you to our very first Invest Social, a new Percy Priest PTO tradition designed to bring parents together at the start of the school year. Join us for a free, adults-only evening to connect with fellow Percy Priest parents, meet new families, and celebrate the incredible community that makes PPE so special.
We’ll provide drinks, light bites, and plenty of opportunities to get to know other parents in our wonderful school community.
Please RSVP HERE
Become a Host Family
We’re also looking for Host Families to help make this special evening possible. If you’d like to help offset the cost of the event, we suggest a $75 Host Family donation.
Host Family donations can be sent directly via Venmo to @Ellen-Hoffman1 (Invest Chair, Ellen Hoffman).
We’re thrilled to launch what we hope will become a favorite Percy Priest tradition and can’t wait to celebrate with you!
TIGER CUP SAVE THE DATE!
Mark your calendar for our annual Tiger Cup fundraiser. Tickets will go on sale August 10th.

VOLUNTEERS FOR 2026-2027 SCHOOL YEAR NEEDED
Calling All Percy Priest Parents, Caregivers, Grandparents, and Friends! We Need You!
The PTO is already hard at work planning another fantastic year for our students, teachers, and families, but we can’t do it without the support of our incredible community. Whether you have an hour to spare here and there, want to help with a specific event, or are interested in taking on a larger role, there are volunteer opportunities for every schedule and interest level.
Even if you have completed a volunteer interest form in previous years, please take a moment to complete the new form for the 2026-27 school year here. We start fresh each year and want to make sure we have the most up-to-date information about your interests and availability.
Parents, grandparents, and family members are all welcome and encouraged to get involved. The more volunteers we have, the more we can do for our school!
