Donate to A&D on #GivingTuesday
Dear Art and Design Community:
Tuesday, December 3 is #GivingTuesday, a national day devoted to giving back to charities instead of purchasing material goods. The Art and Design PTA has non-profit status, and we are participating for the third year!
Our goal is to raise at least $2500 from #GivingTuesday. Any donation made is fully tax-deductible and will serve the needs of our school! Here are some ways you can help:
- Please consider making a year-end tax deductible donationat https://donorbox.org/artanddesignpta. Any amount is appreciated!
- Please share this email with any friends or family who want to support a worthwhile cause on #GivingTuesday, while supporting your child’s school!
- Please “like” the PTA facebook page, and share our social media posts on your own page throughout the day.
- Create a Facebook Fundraiser for the Art and Design PTA on your own page and ask your FB friends to support.
Help us make our third #GivingTuesday successful, as we strive to provide needed supplies, programs, and experiences for the students of Art and Design. College trips, art supplies and equipment, field trip funding, DJ for school dances, team uniforms, and more are all supported by the PTA with your generous support. Thank you.
Sincerely,
Evie Hantzopoulos and Karen Tenesaca

HSAD Drama Club Presents Dorothy the Witch Hunter
DOROTHY THE WITCH HUNTER is an original, jukebox style musical comedy written and performed by the students of the Drama Club.
Toto, a traumatized dog, is in therapy as she recounts a harrowing adventure into an alternate world with her hooman, Dorothy. The land of Oz, filled with witches, wizards, a talking Scarecrow, Tin Man, Lion and Flying Monkeys, ultimately teaches everyone what they really want and who they really are in life.
The High School of Art & Design Drama Club is an after school club in which students not only perform as actors, they also design and create the theatrical elements of the set, costumes, props, lighting, sound, advertisement and stage management of a play production.
Drama Club continues to exist because of the support of our audience members. All proceeds from ticket sales help buy supplies for this and future Drama Club productions.
Follow us on our vibrant INSTAGRAM account: @dramaclub_artanddesign
Tickets are $3 for Student General Seating and $10 for Reserved and Adult Seating ONLY online at: artanddesignpta.org
