This direct donation to The Kevin Persiko Memorial Fund supports Long Branch students in need. The Fund is named after Kevin Persiko, who worked at Long Branch as a kindergarten assistant for almost 20 years and was an active advocate for students who needed more attention and help. Kevin was a life-long resident of Arlington, VA, and loved working with students at Long Branch and in our community as a teacher, tutor, and volunteer. The impact he made at our school and in our community continues with this Fund, which helps provide students with support to succeed. The school, teachers, staff, and social worker identify students who need support, and the Fund is used to cover expenses such as school supplies, eyeglasses, winter coats, and extended day fees. 

All tips at the bar from the auction will go to The Kevin Persiko Fund.

Make a general donation to support the PTA. All funds raised directly benefit our school community. The PTA uses funds to provide teacher supplies, conduct teacher and staff appreciation events to improve morale, provide funding for students to go on field trips, and host free community building events.

The auction is a community building event and we'd love to have as many community members there as possible. While teachers/staff attend for free and the ticket donation is optional for any who would like to attend, your contribution will help cover the ticket cost for those individuals. Thank you.
