🍕🥧 Pi Day Pizza & Pie Sale – This Friday 3/13!
PSO is celebrating Pi Day with a pizza or pie sale during lunch this Friday! Proceeds will help cover senior year activity fees so every senior can participate in the milestones that make their final year special.
Right now, our seniors are $3,500 short, and many students can’t afford the remaining costs.
Not a student but want to help? You can still “buy a slice” by donating through the Sponsor a Senior link in our bio. Every contribution helps close the gap and support our seniors. 🎓✨

✨ Thank You, ChiArts Community! ✨
Because of your incredible support of Raise the Stage, our community came together to raise $37,200 for ChiArts students. We are so grateful to everyone who donated, shared, encouraged students, and helped make this first year such a success.
Thanks to you, these funds are already helping support important student experiences across the school — including the Lab Show, all-school field trips, and production needs.
We’re also excited about what’s ahead. Funds from Raise the Stage will help support opportunities and resources across our conservatories, including things like:
🎶 Music – instrument repairs and equipment updates
✍️ Creative Writing – student showcases like the Levitate release and Curtain Call celebrations
🎨 Visual Arts – senior showcase support, printing supplies, and studio equipment
💃 Dance – performance needs, alumni masterclasses, and field trip experiences
🎭 Theatre – student events, awards, and performance support
This fundraiser was created to directly support the artistic experiences that make ChiArts so special — and your generosity is helping make those moments possible.
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for showing up for ChiArts students. 💛

This morning, students, parents, and teachers stood together outside ChiArts with one clear message to CPS: come to the table and work with us on this transition.
We are committed to ChiArts.
We are committed to next year.
We are committed to making this work.
But commitment does not mean silence. It means partnership. It means structure. It means transparency.
We can support our new leadership and ask CPS for the clarity our students deserve. Those things are not in conflict, they are connected.
Take a moment to read through the slides. This is where our community stands.
We are staying. We are building. And we are still advocating.
Raise the Stage has officially raised $30,300!!! There are still two days to go 🙌🏻🙌🏻 Hopefully you can help us celebrate the monumental achievement on Saturday at our Bravo Bash at from 2-6pm
