Pasta Dinner Information

2012 PSHS Band Pasta Dinner

This year we will be hosting a Pasta Dinner Fundraiser on Friday, March 23.  
A couple of highlights:

• We will be serving food catered by Maciano’s in Shorewood.
• This dinner will be replacing the pizza fundraiser this year.
• The date of the dinner is also the opening night of the musical, so we hope families will come out to eat and stay for the show!
