Spring Fling is the annual fundraiser benefiting Piedmont’s three elementary schools. This important campaign brings together the entire community to support our children’s education. Funds raised by Spring Fling go directly to the schools, supporting counseling and counselors, librarians and library activities, programs to develop a positive playground culture, improve instructional technology, support phonics curriculum, and other vital programs.

I donated to the Giving Campaign. Why should I participate in Spring Fling?
Spring Fling is our only fundraiser specifically for our elementary schools. Every dollar raised goes directly to Beach, Havens and Wildwood to help fund programs vital to our schools. This is our chance to fund items that are important to elementary families. In past years, funds from Spring Fling have supported student wellness, music and art programs, purchased Chromebooks and classroom technology, and even bought back furlough days.
What are "Parent Theme Parties"?
Our biggest community builder, each year, parents plan and host small themed parties. These parties may be for adults, kids, or the entire family. In past years, these have included the 5th Grade Luau, movie nights, and block parties. Signing up for a party is another great way to get involved and support Spring Fling.
What does a Gala ticket include?
Your ticket to the Gala includes a cocktail hour, sit-down dinner, open bar and entertainment for the evening. It is a super fun night full of surprises!
Can I sit with my friends at the Gala?
Yes! When you purchase tickets online, you can enter your friends names. We try very hard to accommodate all requests.
What is the Comings & Goings Photography Project?
Kindergarten and 5th Grade are extra special years for our students. We capture the first year of elementary school and the last in our Comings & Goings Photography project. A professional photographer comes into the classroom to taking a beautiful headshot of our students that are shared digitally and can be printed for framing. To see samples and learn more, visit PiedmontSpringFling.org.
Are sponsorships available?
Yes! We have opportunities for both parent and business sponsors. Visit PiedmontSpringFling.org for details or feel free to call the PEF office at 510-653-1816 to find a sponsorship package that works for you.
