WALK TO SCHOOL DAY | OCTOBER 7TH!

FINAL CHANCE FOR SONGS UNDER THE STARS TICKETS

SONGWRITERS NIGHT — FINAL CHANCE TO BUY TICKETS 

We’re in the home stretch!

Our Songwriters Night benefiting Percy Priest Elementary is just around the corner, and we have only a few tickets remaining + ONE VIP package left that includes meet & greet, signed Hatch Print & reserved seats!

This is a Nashville night you won’t want to miss, featuring three incredible songwriters behind some of country music’s biggest hits!

Shane McAnally

Jaren Johnston

Walker Hayes

Dinner and cocktails start at 6pm.
Bring your own lawn chair.

 TRANSPORTATION:

Out of respect for the neighbors on the private street, no parking on site & it’s a really tight fit for 200 Ubers to be making the trip. Please take the shuttle buses that will be running every 15 minutes from Percy Priest Elementary School starting at 5:50pm.

Treat your favorite teacher to a night out while supporting Percy Priest Elementary.
Join us for an unforgettable evening of music, stories and the songs behind the songs — all while supporting our school!
Get your tickets before they’re gone!

HAVE YOU INVESTED YET?

ONE WEEK LEFT! Please help us get to our goal before fall break.

Dr. Young has raised the stakes and will SLIP N SLIDE DOWN THE HILL on Walk to School Day if we can reach our goal of either $240,000 raised or 90% participation by then. The first class to reach 90% INVEST participation will win a Monster Mash Glow Bash — complete with glow lights, karaoke, dancing, games, and Halloween fun with Dr. Young! And there’s another way to win! The grade level with the highest dollar amount contributed to INVEST will also receive a Monster Mash Glow Bash!

1st grade and 2nd grade are TIED! Remember that you can show your participation without a monetary donation by clicking the “I INVEST” option!

We understand these amounts may not be feasible for every family, so we want to reassure you that every gift—at every level—matters.

TRUNK OR TREAT!

Our 2nd Annual PPE Trunk–or–Treat is on Sunday, October 25th from 2-4pm!

Dress up in your costume and collect candy from the decorated trunks of cars. This is a fun, free event for the whole family!

Are you ready to transform the family car into a (not so) spooky candy machine? Sign up to host a trunk and help us make this harvest season fun. (Note that we ask hosts to provide some candy but most will be supplemented by the PPE community!)

Stay tuned for more information in the coming weeks!

Art Show: Celebrating America! Red, White, Blue – We Thank You!

In honor of America’s 250th birthday and in recognition of Veterans Day, our PPE Percy Priest artists have created beautiful works that showcase something unique about the USA/North America. Plan to visit PPE on Tuesday evening, November 10th from 5-7pm to experience the full gallery of beautifully framed artwork.

Volunteers have been working hard to prepare the artwork for shipping to Artomé who will frame each piece for display at our PPE Art Show Gallery. This fundraiser supports the PPE PTO and directly impacts our young artists. In addition to the live art show, a virtual art show will also be available leading up to the 11/10 event for viewing and purchasing. More info to come on this!

If you are interested in helping with the Art Show (making a photo booth, creating signage, preparing a collaborative activity) please email Art Show Chair, Kristen Freude at kristen.freude@gmail.com. We will need many volunteers for the event day (set-up, treat table, tear down, etc.) and a signup will be shared in early November.
