Updates from School Council & Friends of Parkland Way
CASINO UPDATE - We are so excited to announce that our next fundraising Casino is officially set for October 23 & 24, 2024. Our previous casino brought in approximately $70,000. These funds have & are still being spent supporting our school in so many ways - residencies, supplies, equipment, technology, books, resources, & more! We cannot make this next casino happen without the support of many volunteers. We need to fill each & every shift otherwise we do not get to participate. You do not need police clearance to volunteer for the casino so any adult in your family/friend circle is able to sign up: https://bit.ly/POWCasino2024
