What is a gathering?
A gathering is an event, party, lesson, or unique experience generously donated and hosted by members of the Nova community. Gatherings build community and raise funds for the Nova PTO. Hosting and attending gatherings is the best way to support NPTO!

Who are gatherings for?
Everybody! Depending on how the host chooses to set up a gathering, it can be just kids, just adults, or whole families.

What are some examples of past gatherings?

• A cooking class
• A fun family bike trip
• Wine and tapas on the host’s patio
• Murder mystery game night
• Parents-only rock climbing class
• Ladies’ cocktail party
• Lower School slumber party
• 2nd grade craft party

Can I host an event with another Nova family?
Yes! Gatherings are often hosted by multiple families or co-sponsors.

How does attending the 2024 Great Gatherings Family Carnival event help the Nova PTO? 

Attending the event, bidding on auction items, and supporting other gatherings all help to building community and help NPTO directly support Nova Classical Academy.

As a Nova family member, I know my goal is to volunteer 20 hours during the school year. How does Great Gatherings help me achieve this goal?

If you host a gathering, you automatically reach your 20 hour volunteering goal!

If I don’t attend the Great Gatherings Family Carnival, can I still host a gathering and purchase tickets to future gatherings?

Yes! Fill out the following forms to host a gathering or donate an auction or raffle item.
