Pledge Day 2025

Sunday, October 26th 12–4 PM

What is Pledge Day?

Pledge Day is the Summit Music Parents Association’s biggest fundraiser of the year — and a long-standing tradition that brings all SHS music students together. On this day, music students team-up and go door-to-door throughout Summit inviting neighbors to support our award-winning music program. It’s a fun afternoon that raises funds and builds community pride in our students.

Why participation matters

With a full turnout, our students can reach nearly every home in Summit — and together, we can reach our $25,000 goal. Every dollar raised supports music programs from elementary through high school, funding opportunities that go beyond the regular school budget, such as:

  • Master classes and workshops
  • Guest artist concerts
  • Scholarships and trip subsidies
  • Celebration events and field trips.

Student perks

  • Every student who participates in Pledge Day earns a $50 credit toward a music trip or event.
  • The music group with the highest participation will win the coveted ‘Golden Sneaker Award’ and a pizza fueled celebration event.

How parents can help

To make Pledge Day a success, we need parent drivers to take student groups on their routes.

Please click the link below and sign-up to be a driver!

I’ll Drive!

Please encourage your student to take part and sign-up as a driver to help make this our most successful Pledge Day yet!

2025 District Arts Festival

The 2025 District Arts Festival, April 4th, 2025, is right around the corner and the SMPA needs your help to make it a successful event for our students & staff!

Please find the Google sheet to sign up to prepare/donate food and /or donate your time with helping us set up, serve, greet, and clean up!

We have three 2 hour time blocks for you to choose from. Depending on your time block, you will be doing a combination of setting up, serving, greeting and cleaning up! If we get 10 helpers per time slot we think we will be well staffed to have people pop in & out to go check out their own students’ work!

We are feeding about 300 people which includes students and staff, so please donate accordingly. 

All food should be labeled & brought to the SHS Kitchen @ 3:30PM. We will have access to the ovens should we need to heat up any of the dishes. 

Thank you,

SMPA Parent Volunteer Coordinators on behalf of the DAF
