Shopping, Music, and Magic

The Parents’ Association (PA) Extravaganza was a paradise for shoppers and music lovers alike. The Vendor Market featured local businesses offering unique gifts, crafts, and artisanal goods. Attendees also had the chance to bid on exclusive items in the Silent Auction, with proceeds supporting community projects.
