Dear PNB School Family,
Thank you to everyone who contributed to the PGA in December — we had a fantastic turnout of donors from 15 different classes, and we nearly doubled the matching gift of $5,000! Some of the ways your generous gifts will be used include celebrating our young performers with bouquet sales at this spring’s Petite Finale and fostering community with PNB School spirit gear at our upcoming Summer Course.
And now to announce the winners… We had a tie between two classes and each class will get an ice cream party and a free dress day.
Congratulations to Level VII A in Seattle and Level V in Bellevue!
The winning classes will receive more details about their prizes in the coming weeks.
Thank you again for your participation — your generosity will continue to enrich our PNB School community!

Hello PNB Students,
This is a friendly reminder to please keep track of your sewing needles after you use them in the studio spaces on your pointe shoes! Several times we have had sewing needles either almost being stepped on or found in the studios.
All students should have a sewing kit that they can safely keep their sewing supplies in incase it is needed at anytime during or in between classes. Once you are done using your sewing needle, please make sure it makes it back into your sewing kit for everyone’s safety.
Thank you so much!

Happy New Year PNB! Each year, special memories are made at PNB School events like Petite Finale and Teen Night. The PGA is behind the organization of these events that have such a positive impact on the students and their families. We want to continue bringing these opportunities to our PNB School community in the new year and need your support.
We hope you’ll take advantage of the $5,000 match and consider a donation to the PGA before midnight December 31st! The students in the class with the greatest number of donors will get an ice cream party and a day to wear dancewear of their choice. Join me in making a donation that will enrich our PNB School community!
We look forward to seeing you at our events in 2025!
