THE P.A.C.E. PARENTS’ ORGANIZATION WELCOMES YOU!

SUMMER, 2016

Dear Parents,

Welcome, P.A.C.E. families and friends, to the summer of 2016 and another busy year for our special parents’ group, the P.A.C.E. Parents’ Organization! We try to help our families by sponsoring support group meetings and parent training seminars, organizing social activities, and by sharing information. Included in this packet is our yearly calendar, listing all of these activities. Childcare will be provided at some of these events.

This is a very special year for us – it is the 50th Anniversary of the P.A.C.E. Extended School Year program! To commemorate this, we are sponsoring a 50th Anniversary Dinner Dance on July 29. for former and current parents and staff. On July 15, we will hold a “Reunion” for current and former students from the high school level and up.

Fundraising includes our good ol’ “Pennies for P.A.C.E.”, “Helping Hands/GEMS”, the 50/50 ticket sales at the Mayor’s Concert Series, and the Woodbridge Center Mall Holiday Raffle. We will once again sell the Expandable Charm Bracelets! There will be Pizza Days on Mondays, Ice Cream Sandwiches on Tuesdays & Thursdays,Snack days on Wednesdays andPretzel Days on Fridays. Please support these fundraisers, as they help us support our families and each other.

This packet contains the annual P.A.C.E. Parents’ Organization Membership Form. Please fill it out and return it with your $5.00 dues. By sending in the membership form, we can keep in touch all year long. We have monthly meetings. There are “Activity Nights” scheduled, where our P.A.C.E. kids and their siblings can have fun while the parents mingle! Other post-summer events are the “Breakfast at the Elks” in September, the Bazaar in November, and a Basket Raffle that we hope to schedule. Be sure to send in the membership form, with a valid email address, so we can keep you posted!

Also included in this packet is the summer calendar for P.A.C.E. This lists activities which the P.A.C.E. Parents’ Organization is sponsoring during the day, as well as some evening events. You can always meet your fellow P.A.C.E. Parents by volunteering at any of these events, or during the day when all the “behind-the-scenes” work is done. No matter what you do, we will be happy to see you!
