And to round out the fun, we’ll host live and silent auctions filled with exciting items and experiences, with all proceeds directly benefiting Parkside’s music, drama, art, yoga, dance and physical education programs.These programs are are opportunities for our students to express themselves, grow creatively, and discover new ways to thrive.

Independent and separate from the Annual Fund, Parkside’s largest fundraising event, the Spring Benefit, was born our of a need to fund our art and movement programs - art, music, drama, yoga and gym - which historically have not been mandated or adequately funded by the tuition rate we receive from the Sate Education Department. These programs are vital to students progress towards learning to control their bodies, express their creativity, hone their motor and teambuilding skills, and discover their passions.
