The PTSA enhances the academic program and the arts program at
School of the Arts through the ongoing, generous support of parents, grandparents,
alumni, and the community. People volunteer their time and expertise and
provide essential monetary support. We encourage each of you to offer
your energetic and enthusiastic commitment to the Bay Area's only public
arts high school. We thank all of you who have contributed in so many
ways to SOTA, and look forward to your renewed support in the coming year.

Make a Donation- to the PTSA.
The Century Fund - The Century Fund is SOTA's annual giving fund and is at the heart of the PTSA's fundraising plans. Last year over $16,000 was raised from families who understand the value of a SOTA education. This year, with the new campus, larger student body, and expanded program the PTSA must do more than ever to supplement SFUSD's meager funding. We will be sending a mailing in Fall 2002 asking each SOTA family to contribute as much as you can afford. You don't need to wait; send your donations to SOTA - PTSA 555 Portola Drive, San Francisco, CA 94131 Attn: Jim Landman, Fundraising Chair.
