Annual Friends-Giving Potluck Luncheon

About this event

🦃 One of our favorite PPEA traditions is back! 🍂

Homeschool families throughout Pinellas County and the surrounding communities are invited to gather with us for an afternoon of good food, friendship, and community as we celebrate the season of gratitude together.

Friendsgiving is a relaxed, family-friendly gathering for the whole family — moms, dads, kids, teens, grandparents… everyone is welcome! Whether you’re brand new to homeschooling, new to PPEA, or have been part of our community for years, we’d love to have you join us.

🍽️ A Community Potluck

PPEA will provide the turkey, ham, cold beverages, plates, napkins, and utensils.

Each participating family is asked to bring one side dish, salad, bread, or dessert to share with approximately 8–10 people.

During registration, you’ll let us know what you plan to bring so we can coordinate a delicious variety of dishes for everyone.

Please bring your dish ready to serve , along with any serving utensil it may need.

🍁 What to Expect

• A potluck-style Friendsgiving meal

• Plenty of time to meet and connect with other homeschool families

• Park and play time for the kids

• A casual, welcoming afternoon for all ages

• Familiar faces, new friendships, and time together as a community

There’s no complicated schedule and no pressure — just bring your family, a dish to share, and come spend the afternoon with us.

PPEA Friendsgiving is about what we value most: bringing homeschool families together and creating opportunities for genuine community and connection.

We hope you’ll join us as we slow down before the busy holiday season, share a meal, and celebrate all that we have to be thankful for. 🤎

Space is limited and advance registration is required.
