First in-person college scholarship fundraiser event led by PTAs in five years

Somerville Game Show Night, Somerville Council of PTAs‘ biggest fundraising event of the year, which raises money for its Somerville High School (SHS) college scholarship program, will take place at the Somerville High School Auditorium on Friday, March 31, from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m.

Families, teachers, and residents alike are encouraged to attend to cheer on Somerville Public Schools teachers and staff as school teams compete against one another in a “survey says” style game show.

This event also includes a Silent Auction featuring products and services from area businesses as well as themed baskets created by every public school PTA in the city, plus t-shirts for sale and food concessions. This event is open to the public, but tickets are limited. Full-price, family bundles and sliding scale (“pay what you want”) tickets are available at bit.ly/pta-gameshow.

The Somerville Council of PTAs comprises all the school-level PTAs representing each of the ten public schools in the city. The Council encourages and promotes programs and projects in the interests of the public schoolchildren of Somerville, advocates on behalf of our students, and fundraises to support its scholarship fund, Scholarships for Seniors.

Scholarships for Seniors raises funds to provide $1000 college scholarships for eligible graduating SHS seniors, and encourages and recognizes community support from businesses as well as local residents. The Somerville Council of PTAs understands that our students have worked tirelessly throughout the many years of the COVID-19 pandemic, and is proud to be able to provide them with extra funds to continue on to college.
