ABOUT US
The annual School Show was first performed in 1948. It has become the School’s biggest fundraiser, and all proceeds go to the PTO to provide classroom resources, teacher grants and additional programs for Washington’s 300+ students. The Show is more than just a Washington School tradition. It has become part of the culture of the tight-knit school community. The tireless efforts of the talented parent-performers, teachers and behind-the-scenes crews combined with generous support from local merchants make the months of planning all worthwhile year after year.
