Our glow parties are quickly approaching.

First is Friday's event for grades 3-5 (6:00 to 8:00 p.m.).

Then on Saturday, we have an event for grades K-2 (5:00 to 7:00 p.m.).

Both are held at the school. Please enter through the Reily St. entrance.

These are closed events: only students from the Pennsylvania STEAM Academy are permitted.

Each student must have a responsible adult in the building at all times. Each student and adult must have a ticket.

Tickets will be available at the door for $5 and may be paid for with cash, check, Venmo, PayPal, or credit card (no Cash App). Sometimes technology breaks, so it's best to come with backup cash.

You can get discounted advance tickets for $4 through noon Friday here (just make sure you buy for the right night): https://pasteampta.givebacks.com/

We'll also have a concession stand, glow goodies, and Pennsylvania STEAM Academy apparel for sale. All proceeds go toward the PTA's fundraising efforts to keep field trips free for families.

To be successful, we'll need many volunteers. First, we need volunteers during the day Friday to decorate. Do you know how much time it takes to paper over tall windows on a wall longer than many houses? It's a lot, but many hands lighten the load. So if you have a flexible work schedule, are a stay-at-home parent, are self-employed, or are retired, please lend a hand on Friday. It's extra helpful if you could bring a ladder and some painter's tape to supplement what we already have.

Each volunteer will be thanked with a free admission ticket for a student. Sign up to volunteer here: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/9040E4CAFAD2CA0FD0-56105446-glow #/.

🎉 Let’s GLOW Crazy – Volunteer for the Glow Party! 🎉 We’re lighting up the night with two unforgettable Glow Parties, and we need your help to make them a success! Sign up for a volunteer slot and be part of the glow-tastic fun! Party Details: Grades 3–5: Friday, April 11, 6:00–8:00 ...

Good afternoon, Pennsylvania STEAM Academy families and faculty!

Our Parent-Teacher Association meets this evening. If you aren't aware, the PTA organizes family-friendly events and raises funds to support students and faculty, such as by paying for field trips and extra teacher supplies. We're a volunteer-led organization, so the more volunteers we have, the more we can do!

The meeting will be from 6:00 to 7:00 p.m. in the school's lunchroom. Please enter at the Reily Street entrance. Refreshments will be provided. It's family-friendly, too, so bring the kids! Plus, each attendee will receive an engagement punch card. Each time you attend a PTA or Empower U meeting or volunteer at a PTA event, your card will be marked. Each filled card enters you to win a prize.

We have a backlog of minutes and financial reports to approve.

Remember, anyone can attend this evening's meetings, but to vote on PTA matters, you must be a member for this year. Each membership costs just $6 and may be paid at the meeting or online: https://pasteampta.givebacks.com/store

Also attached is a flyer for upcoming PTA events. Note the do-over of our January fundraiser at Trindle Bowl that had only a few intrepid (or reckless) participants because of a snowstorm. We're giving it another try on Sunday, April 6 from 3:00 to 6:00 p.m.

Who says pancakes must be a breakfast food?

We sure don't! Pile those plates high tonight at IHOP at 4002 Union Deposit Road from 4:00 to 8:00 p.m.

It's a fundraiser for the PTA, so know that the restaurant will donate 20% of your bill.

RSVP here so the restaurant knows how many to expect: https://www.groupraise.com/events/298413

Then show the attached flyer when you arrive and say you're there for the fundraiser.

Our goal is 15 attendees. We hope your family is able to make it!
