Community Cares Day

Project Community Care is a wonderful opportunity for community members to help beautify our school grounds before students return for the school year! Volunteers come together to complete tasks from weeding, to picking up litter, to spreading mulch around flower beds. This year (2022), we are recruiting extra volunteers to help us prepare the school garden and care for Ella’s Memorial Garden. Together we can grow a sense of community and school stewardship.

Volunteers of all ages are welcome. Your time and energy will have a direct impact on students, families, teachers, and the neighborhood. PPS appreciates all of the effort and enthusiasm that goes into making this event possible!

Community Cares Day will take place on Saturday, August 27th 2022 from 9am-12pm at the Fernwood campus.

We need people (adults and kids) to volunteer. There will be volunteer leads outside Fernwood to help point you in the right direction.

Please sign up to help make the schools sparkle before school begins! ALL are welcome - this is a great opportunity to connect with others before the school year starts.

No background check is required for this community event. All ages are welcome.

If you can bring work gloves and tools with you, please do (and be sure to label them). The following would be particularly helpful:

bucket
shovels
hard rakes
leaf rakes
wheelbarrows
mowers/weed whackers
Clippers and/or shears
brooms
and anything else that makes you comfortable and motivated to work!

Please note you will need to login to the parent portal (this website) to sign up. If you have not logged in before, you should use the email address where you receive school communications. If signing up for the first time this year (or ever) you will be asked to update your family information and check your privacy settings for the directory. Once you do this once, it will be set for the year and you can use this to login to access our school directory as well as to sign up to volunteer for other school events. THANK YOU!
