Dear Parents and Guardians of PNB Students,
I hope that all of you had a lovely Thanksgiving holiday.
My name is Paige Davis and my daughter, Chloe Crick, is a Level V student at PNB. It is my privilege to serve as your PNB Parent / Guardian Association (the “PGA”) President for the 2022-23 school year. Other parent volunteers on the 2022-23 PGA Leadership Team include: Katie Bell, Brandyn Boyd, Carly Buwalda, Laurie Elofson, Frances King, Agnes Montejano, Adam Rainone, and Porsha Robinson. Additional members of the PGA Leadership Team include: Sue Buske (PNB Board of Trustees), Denise Bolstad (PNB School Managing Director), Andrea Abercrombie (School Supervisor) and Wendy Casper (Assistant to the Managing Director).
If you have any ideas, comments or questions for any member of the Leadership Team throughout the school year, you can reach all of us at this e-mail: pnbspga@gmail.com
I am writing today to reintroduce you to the PGA and its purpose, and to highlight volunteer opportunities.
What is the Parent/Guardian Association (PGA)?
The PGA is composed of a number of parents/guardians with dancers in various levels in both Bellevue and Seattle. Through communication and volunteerism, the Pacific Northwest Ballet Parent/Guardian Association (PGA) functions as a support organization for the school, students, and families to further the goal of quality dance education (PGA Mission Statement). The PGA is focusing on Communications, Education, Fundraising, Hospitality and Spirit Gear; and generally assists the School, dancers and families by managing the School Giving Campaign; arranging merchandise sales and distribution for Petite Finale, School Performance, Nutcracker and other student-included programs; assisting with learning opportunities for dancers and families (such as summer course information); organizing PNB School events (like Spring Fling and Teen Night), and generally, acting as a source of information and connection for families at PNB School.
The PGA is parent supported, and we need your help in fulfilling the PGA mission. Those who have put their name forward will be contacted soon about volunteer opportunities. If you have not signed up, but would like to volunteer for future PNB School Events or activities, please sign up here. In addition, you can find information about the PGA and PGA events on the “Parent/Guardian Association Updates” tab of the PNB School Portal.
Look for my next message with information on another great way to support our mission via the Holiday Giving Campaign!
Again, please check out the “Parent/Guardian Association Updates” tab on the School Portal for updates and information, or feel free to contact us at pnbspga@gmail.com or me directly at davisp@lanepowell.com.
We look forward to working with all of you this year!
Paige
