Programs:
Fall Fundraiser: In the fall we hold our major fundraiser. This money supports the needs of the school throughout the year. It also supports all field trips and busing at the end of the school year.
Halloween Party: The PSC sponsors the Halloween party every year. This is a fun time for the community to come together and celebrate Halloween. There are games and plenty of food for all to enjoy.
Thanksgiving Baskets: The PSC collects non-perishable items from the students and monetary donations from the generous staff at school and area businesses. With the money collected we purchase turkeys, potatoes, fresh fruit, rolls, and butter. The Thanksgiving baskets are distributed to community members on the Saturday before Thanksgiving.
Santa's Workshop: Every year it is an exciting time for the students to purchase items at Santa's Workshop. Prior to the sale volunteers purchase items and set up tables with the merchandise. The PSC volunteers send home a notice for the parents. The parents then create a list of people the child needs to shop for. Santa's helpers will assist the children to select appropriate gifts. The prices range from $0.25 to $10.00. This is a great opportunity for the children to shop for their loved ones. The students visit Santa's Workshop with their classmates. PSC does not make any profit.
Staff Appreciation: PSC organizes two staff appreciation days each year. This is a time to say thank you to all the teachers, administration, and support staff for all they do. We have a list of volunteers that bake goods and PSC provides coffee and fresh fruit.
Ice Cream Social: In the spring, PSC sponsors an Ice Cream Social. The Talent Show is held in April. After the Talent Show, the PSC distributes ice cream sundaes.
Popcorn and/or ice cream sales: Popcorn and/or ice cream will be sold each Friday. The cost will be 50 cents.
