A FUN AND SOCIAL EVENING

Please join us for one of Old Greenwich School PTA's favorite traditions! It is
an amazing opportunity to meet other parents in your child's grade in a relaxed
social setting. Begin your evening with fellow grade level parents at a small
group dinner and "progress" on to cocktails and dessert at a grade-wide party!

Progressive Dinner FAQ's

What is the Progressive Dinner? The OGS Progressive is Old Greenwich School
PTA's second largest fundraiser. Tickets to attend dinner and cocktail parties are
purchased, and are tax deductible. Your contribution goes directly to students,
staff and the school in the form of curriculum enrichment, teacher grants and
school improvements.

When and Where? The OGS Progressive will be held on Saturday, June 1st.
The event runs from 6:00 pm until 10:30 pm and is hosted by Old Greenwich
School parents. Small group dinners are held from 6:00 pm to 8:00 pm.
Attendees progress from the dinner parties to grade specific cocktail
parties from 8:30-10:30 pm.

What is the cost? Tickets are $75 per guest, $150 per couple.
Tickets will go on sale the week of March 25th.

How does it work? Parents volunteer to host small group dinners at their
homes. The dinners are organized by grade. Hosts and guests are paired
randomly within each grade by The OGS Progressive committee. After dinner,
people “progress” by walking, biking or ubering to an all-grade cocktail party
also hosted by parent volunteers.

Can anyone host a Dinner or Cocktail Part? YES! This event cannot happen without host volunteers. It’s also a great way to meet other parents in your grade. Co-hosting with friends is another fun option! The style of the dinner is at the discretion of the host (Takeout Taco Tasting, Backyard Hibachi, Alfresco Apps + Eats, Pizza Party, Homemade Menu...whatever you want it to be!) The all-grade
cocktail parties are drinks/cocktails & dessert!

What are the expected numbers for a Dinner or the Cocktail Party?

We don’t have expected numbers until closer to the event, but below are

some approximate numbers:
-Dinner (1 host): Est. 2-3 Couples (plus host)
-Dinner (Co-hosted w/friends): Est. 4-5 couples (plus hosts)
-Grade-Wide Cocktail Party: Est. 100 people

What if I have children in more than one grade at OGS? Parents with only
one child attend a dinner and a cocktail party hosted by parents in their child’s
grade. Parents with several children may request a grade preference for their
small group dinner. We will try our best to accommodate that request if possible.
After dinner, parents may choose to attend one or more cocktail parties for their
children’s respective grades. For example, parents with children in K, 2nd and
4th might attend a kindergarten dinner and afterward attend both the 2nd and 4th
Grade cocktail parties!

Can I attend the Cocktail Party only? Yes, however the ticket price would be
the same. If one or both parents cannot attend a small group dinner, they are
encouraged to join their grade at the all-class cocktail party later in the evening.

Do hosts get financial support? Expenses incurred by hosts are tax
deductible. Guests are encouraged to bring a bottle of wine to dinner parties.

How will I know where to go? The Progressive Dinner committee will email
your dinner assignment and the address of the class cocktail parties a few days
before the event!
