Adopt a window

Pardon our mess! We are so excited to get windows in our building repaired and, when necessary replaced, but the temporary window covers have concerned some passers by. Never fear! We are not going. We are growing!

PHSSA is housed in an historic 1921 building and in order to make it an effective setting for learning, its 254 windows need to be completely restored or replaced. You can help us make this happen by making a donation. Read more about the "Adopt a WIndow" campaign including Ways to Give and Naming Opportunities
