January, February, and into March, we have had multiple remote learning days due to inclement weather. We are so very very grateful to the generous meal providers for being flexible and continuing to fill the children's tummies!
If you are interested in being a part of the PCK meals program, or supporting PCK in some other way, please contact Inga by emailat pck.marketing.inga@gmail.com
even just one day a week, we always need friendly adults and teenagers to:
*Help supervise children during outdoor activities
*Be a reading buddy during recreational reading time
*Help with homework
*Facilitate and/or supervise craft activities during craft times
*You can donate as much time or as little as best fits your life! Even if you are only available one 3-hour day each month, we would be grateful for your time!
We want to give a TREMENDOUS thanks to our volunteers, without whom, PCK simply could not operate.
*Remote Learning Days/Snow Days mean PCK is Closed*
PCK's schedule follows the Payson Unified School District Schedule, and does not operate if there is no in-person school.
Parents/Caregivers should be sure to sign up for alerts from the school district.
You can do this by contacting the front office for your child's school, or through your infinite campus. Questions on how to do this should be directed to the school your child attends.
Help us continue to have a robust program to serve the children in Payson.

Service Spotlight
For the month of March, we want to celebrate Ms. Susana!
Ms. Susana has been diligently serving the children of PCK for years. She is always here for the children. Often in person, insisting that the children use their manners and treat others with respect. She often runs the PCK store, a valuable tool for encouraging children to reflect positive behaviors, as well as money management skills. Frequently she will provide translation services, usually with little notice, and she is the key to providing our monthly newsletter in Spanish, in addition to English.
Our quarterly newsletter will be soon on it's way to your mailbox! Keep an eye out for it! If you do not currently receive the newsletter and would like to, please let us know by replying to this email, or send a separate email with your name and the subject: "newsletter" to pckvolunteer@gmail.com
Want to Go Green? We can send it digitally!
