The Bard Bash is a community event to celebrate the end of the year, reconnect with families and faculty, enjoy great food, and place your final bids in the Silent Auction.
🍝 The evening will feature:
Family dinner
Brand new Bardware
And, of course… great company!
Our Spring Fundraiser is on April 28th, 2026 at 5:00pm
All PTA events are FREE to attend!
🎟️ Raffle tickets are pay-as-you-wish, and every ticket entered goes into a 50/50 cash prize drawing at the end of the night. That means the winner takes home half the total pot. So the more tickets sold, the bigger the prize 💰
We fund essential programs like college seminar books, the college transfer office, the library, team sports, clubs, high school graduation, college tours, and SAT subsidies.
We also routinely fund the little things that make a big difference; water and coffee in the faculty lounge, supplies for classrooms, hospitality for our teachers and committees.
Please donate any amount to help us continue this important work.
