AAS PTA AASk Campaign

AASk Letter

As we kick off AAS’ 30th Year, now is the time to make your contribution! With a fundraising goal of $30k, your input will help our PTA support student trips, STEM resources, scholarships, arts/drama/music, and more.

While $50 is the AASk, no contribution is too big or too small, and every contribution is tax deductible. We’ve made it fast, easy, and secure with Zelle, Venmo, and PayPal, or by check.

See details attached, and thank you in advance for your contribution to our children’s success!

Warmly,

AAS PTA
