Watering Weeks for PCMS Garden:

Please sign up to help water our garden! If you are unable to water on your week or day please call someone on the list and work it out. Over the summer it would be best to water every day since the garden is in the direct sun. However, if it rains you don’t have to go that day! You only have to water the sweet potatoes that are in the 8 raised beds. Rain barrels will be filled by once a week by me so you should always have water. Each plant should get 2 water cans full!  Call Nancy Bustamante with questions.

1.  June 30 - July 6 available
2. July 7 - July 13 available

The PCMS Foundation is very grateful to all of our volunteers that have led and supported our school this year.  You have made our school an extraordinary place, and we appreciate your time and talents.

"Can You Imagine" - Annual Fund Report

The PCMS Foundation thanks the families who have already donated to the "Can You Imagine?" Annual Fund campaign. So far, we have raised over $70,000 with a family participation rate of 60%! Our goal is to have 100% of families contributing to the annual fund.

All donations go toward maximizing faculty effectiveness as leaders, and towards supporting all students' academic and personal excellence. We continue to put all money raised back into the classrooms for our students.

Because of your generosity, the Foundation has achieved so much. If you have not had a chance to donate, please consider making a donation before year-end. All donations are tax deductible, to the extend allowed by law. If you have questions, contact pcmsfoundation.eetheridge@gmail.com
