 Our community is coming together for one of the year’s most talked-about events. We anticipate that more than 1000 community members will join us at the Heinz Field ballroom for Dancin’ in the Endzone!
For our first ever cooperative districtwide fundraiser, to be held May 1, 2010, we’ve engaged the support of dozens of community leaders, including PTO and PTA officers and representatives. Plans for the evening include food and drinks, a Motown band, auctions and a raffle.
Proceeds will benefit the Dorseyville Middle School Challenge Technology Fund and initiatives of the PTA/PTO organizations at each building in the school district. We are committed to placing interactive technology in 50 core classrooms at the middle school level – a plan that will ensure Fox Chapel Area students have enhanced access to 21st century educational technology at all grade levels. The Board of School Directors has placed $100,000 in the budget in support of this initiative. Our challenge is to at least double that amount by raising matching funds through this event.
Most of all, this event is about bringing our communities, friends, and neighbors together to celebrate making a great school district even better!
We hope to see you there! Visit the district web site for more information and how to order tickets.
