May 8 is USN Night at Parnassus

Stock up on summer reads as a local bookstore shares a percentage of its profits with USN for purchases made between 3 and 6 p.m. Friday, May 8.
 
By Andrew Sloane, USNA Fundraising Coordinator

We hope to see you, your family, and your friends at 3900 Hillsboro Pike on Friday, May 8, during USN Night at Parnassus Books. The locally owned bookstore will donate 10% of all sales made in person and by phone between 3 and 6 p.m. to University School of Nashville.

This fundraiser is an excellent opportunity to stock up on materials for summer reading lists, which the English Department releases in early May at usn.org/reading. All the money raised during this USNA event will go to continuing education opportunities for faculty and staff.

Families can also continue to support USN while doing their regular shopping at Kroger and Publix, as well as by digitally clipping Box Tops by logging into their digital accounts with those retailers and marking the school as its designated charity.

  • Back-to-school Popsicle Party cancelled

    Mother Nature is not cooperating for our annual Popsicle Party. Depending on which weather app you use, actual and feels-like temperatures are 98 to 101 and higher. Under these conditions, we would limit student activities, so, in the interest of everyone's health and well-being, we are going to cancell our gathering at the River Campus. There is just not enough shade and certainly no air conditioning to bring relief to hundreds of USN families. Thank you for understanding. We look forward to seeing you in a few days for the start of our new school year.
