#WeArePPS Back to School Event 2018
For the sixth consecutive year, Pittsburgh Public Schools has teamed up with some great partners for our official back to school event, #WeArePPS!
Every year, we welcome thousands of families to an event designed to equip families with the resources necessary to achieve a healthy start to the 2018-2019 school year. #WeArePPS is open to all current Pittsburgh Public School students and will take place at Pittsburgh Faison (7430 Tioga Street, Pittsburgh, PA 15208) on Monday, August 20, 2018, from 1-5 p.m. This event is in alignment with district beliefs that we exist to serve students and schools and create effective family and community partnerships in every school.
#WeArePPS is your official back to school event with FREE food, book bags, haircuts, hairstyles, manicures, and school supplies. New this year, the Pittsburgh Pirates have been gracious enough to host the official Play Zone filled with inflatables and games for all students. For more information, please call (412) 529-HELP (4357).
