SCHOOL UPDATES
WE NEED YOUR HELP! VOLUNTEERS STILL NEEDED!
Calling All Percy Priest Parents, Caregivers, Grandparents, and Friends! We Need You!
The amazing events and in-school opportunities provided to students throughout the year are part of what makes our school community so special. This is not possible without the help of our parents, caregivers, and friends! We kindly ask that every parent give at least an hour of their time throughout the school year per student. There are so many ways to volunteer and there is a wide array of before school, during school, and after school opportunities to accommodate busy schedules.
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. If you aren’t able to commit right now, you can always come back to this form or read the newsletter for individual event volunteer callouts throughout the year.
Fall Picnic Event – September 18th!
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!
