Choices

We had a great turn out to our meeting last week! Thank you to everyone who came out to support the auxiliary and the school. If you weren't able to make it, that's okay! As soon as the minutes are typed up, I'll post a link to read them here on the blog.

We have been blessed by some volunteers that have stepped forward to help with the activities for Christian Education Week, BUT (you knew it was coming), WE STILL NEED MORE HELPERS!! If you read your Wildcat Weekly today you know where the needs are. There are many "CHOICES" (see the nice tie-in with the title of this post and the theme for Christian Education Week? I know, I'm far too clever for my own good!)

The Pastor's Breakfast (Tues. Feb 16) still needs some volunteers to help with setting up and cleaning up. There is a chairperson, so all we need are the many hands that make it work.

Grandparents/Friends day (Wed. Feb 17) has even more needs! We are searching for a chairperson AND volunteers to make it happen. If you are able to help in the AM, I know that our students and their special visitors would greatly appreciate it!

The Open House Dinner (Thurs. Feb 18) seems to be fairing a bit better in the volunteer department. We have someone who is willing to cook the dinner (a scrumptious feast awaits us, I assure you, having tasted this person's food before!) We are still searching for someone to take care of drinks, and a volunteer to take care of dessert. There are also opportunites for set up, clean up and serving.

If you are able to help in any capacity, please contact the school office, e-mail the auxiliary, or call one of us!! If you have any questions about these opportunities before you commit to helping, PLEASE do not hesitate to contact us!!! We need you and your PCS School Spirit!!!!!

Coming soon - more information on the "FUN"raiser in March - get those chili and baking recipes ready!!!!!

Christian Education Week

Our auxiliary meeting is right around the corner!  Next week Tuesday, January 19, 7pm in the School Library.  We have some really important events coming up – so I thought I’d give you a heads up so that you can starting thinking about where you might  be able to serve!

The biggest item on the agenda is Christian Education Week.  The auxiliary is looking for volunteers to head up/serve at three events that week.  The first is the Pastor’s Breakfast.  A wonderful opportunity for student’s pastors to come onto campus and see the children!  The auxiliary provides a breakfast for the pastors as a way to say “Welcome!  We are so glad you are here!”  Servers and a person to head this up are needed.

The second event is Grandparents/Grandfriends welcome refreshments.  A bit lower key that the pastor’s breakfast, this event also needs someone to head the committee and servers.

The third and biggest event – don’t be scared -  is the Open House Dinner.  This event requires several people to help cook, others to serve, and more to clean up.  A chairman is needed to head this committee and decide the menu.

If you are able to serve on any of these committees, please don’t hesitate to contact us before the meeting!

There are other topics on the agenda, but I don’t want to give it all away!  I hope to see you there on Tuesday night!

The Best Laid Plans

Okay, so I know that I mentioned our next meeting in the post below. I now have to inform you that it's all been changed. It seems that neither our president nor our vice-president can make the meeting on the 11th! Our next meeting is now scheduled for Tuesday January 19th, 7pm, in the library at school. Hope to see you there!

Back to School

Can you believe that it’s time for the kids to go back to school tomorrow?  The Christmas Break just FLEW by for our family.  Maybe it crawled along at a snails pace for yours.  Either way, tomorrow it ends.  Once again, parents all over the city will be rousing sleeping children from their beds and getting them ready for school.  Lunches will be made and backpacks packed.  Homework will need to be done, and tests studied for. 

This new year also brings more, new volunteer opportunities for families and friends of Phoenix Christian School K-8.  The first, is our auxiliary meeting coming up on January 11.  We will be meeting at school, in the library at 7pm.  Come on out and join in the discussions of upcoming auxiliary events – namely our participation in Christian Education Week in the spring.  Can’t make it to the meeting?  Don’t worry!  If you’re not there, we’ll just sign you up for something.  I kid, I kid.  Seriously though, through the wonders of modern technology, we’ll post the minutes of the meetings here on the blog.  You’ll be able to click a link to read them!  Isn’t that cool?  I thought it was.
