Happy Retirement, Joe and Claire - and Happy Anniversary, Parkside!

Join us as we celebrate Joe and Claire Bruno's 40+ years of dedication to Montessori education and 30+ years of love, support, and Simple Gifts at Parkside. You won't want to miss the chance to say thank you to the guests of honor, reconnect with Parksiders from across the years, and contribute to the future of the little school that has had a big impact on the lives so many.

 

We are hosting two events on Saturday, April 9th:

 

- 10am-12pm - Open House on the Parkside campus - All are invited to tour the classrooms, catch up with current and former staffers, and join us in our favorite tradition, Simple Gifts. No tickets required, but please click here to RSVP so we know who to expect!

 

- 7:30-10pm - Anniversary Party at the Austin Central Library - This is a parents' night out to reminisce and rejoice with Joe and Claire and raise funds to help sustain their dream for generations of Parksiders to come.

 

On this site, you can buy tickets for the evening event, make a donation, and donate and/or bid on some fabulous auction items. We are grateful for your generosity, now and always, and look forward to welcoming the next 30+ years of Parkside with our dear community of families and friends. Thank you!
