PTSA Gala Resource Information
Help Raise the Paddle for Ballard Building Pride
After 25 years, our “new” school still looks great, but the wear and tear from thousands of students and staff along with just plain age means that our building could use some attention.
From replacing vital safety equipment like cameras and AED defibrillators to giving our science classrooms a power boost with upgraded wiring, it’s time to give our beloved school the MVP treatment it deserves. Let’s team up as a community to slam-dunk these necessary repairs and keep our “Beaver Dam” pride soaring!
Join the madness at this year’s PTSA Fundraising Gala at 5 p.m. Sunday, March 24 at Block 41, where we’ll raise our paddles to support a revitalization of our high school building.
