We want every STARS family to be able to join us! If the cost of admission would prevent your family from attending, complimentary Community Tickets will be available privately through the school. Please reach out to the school to inquire.
Families can also help another STARS family attend by contributing to our Community Ticket Fund at checkout.
Fall Fest is a PTO fundraiser, and proceeds directly support STARS students through Teacher Mini Grants, helping our teachers create engaging learning environments and provide meaningful resources and experiences for their students.
This is one of the biggest fundraisers of the year. It also takes the most amount of volunteer time. We would love your help please email starscharterpto@gmail.com and our Fall Fest Chair will be in touch with you. We have many opportunities.
