Join us on Thursday, April 10 at The Nash, 1111 Rusk Street in downtown Houston, for our 35th annual Parents' Night Out.
Doors open at 5:30 PM.
Enjoy a heavy appetizer buffet, drinks and mingling with your fellow parents.
This is an adults-only evening, so line up your sitters and come ready to celebrate the incredible people who show up for our kids every single day.
Need a sitter? We've got you. Sign up for babysitting when purchasing your tickets.
Dress Code: Think Friends-themed — fun, funky, and a little nostalgic. Come as your favorite character, lean into the '90s, or just show up in something that makes you smile. There are no rules except to have a good time.
Silent Auction
Browse, bid, and go home with something wonderful — every dollar goes directly to our teachers.
The silent auction features something for everyone — from dining experiences and wellness sessions to jewelry and beyond. Browse at your own pace and place your bids throughout the evening.
Live Auction
Every year, our teachers guide students in creating one-of-a-kind art projects that become the centerpiece of our live auction. Past projects have included customized coolers, hand-painted birdhouses, and CHES-themed benches , each one made with tiny hands and big hearts. Come ready to bid on your child's masterpiece. This is the most exciting moment of the night, and the bidding gets fierce fast.
Wine Pull
The one where everyone goes home a winner.
On the night of PNO, purchase draws for a chance to take home a wrapped mystery bottle. Wines range from everyday favorites to high-end bottles and magnums — and there is no limit on how many draws you can take. Stock your cellar, discover something new, and support our teachers all at once.
Sign up Parties
A beloved PNO tradition, CHES families plan and host parties designed for all kinds of fun.
Think kid-friendly events like Bubbles and Babies, to parent nights out like Moms and Mimosas, Dads Poker Night, and flower arranging evenings.
The best part? Host families cover all costs, which means every dollar goes directly to the Teacher Bonus Fund.

Teacher Bonus Fund

No overhead. No detours. Straight to the people who pour everything they have into our children each and every day.
Thank you for showing up for the people who show up for our kids.
