The Kindergarten is having a pajama drive! As part of our giving unit coming up in December, the Kindergarten is collecting NEW pajamas to help children in need. Please send in new pajamas by Thursday, December 13th. See the attached flyer for more information, and contact Mrs. Adler at erlinamae.adler@pucs.org if you have any questions. Our goal is to collect 50 sets of pajamas! I hope you will join us in doing so.

COMMUNITY CORNER notes from our CIS Coordinator Georgette Ayres
Do you need volunteer hours? My agency, Communities In Schools Pittsburgh Allegheny County (CISPAC), has partnered with Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh to help new pediatric residents learn about the social and community factors that impact children’s health and well-being. The objective is to provide trainees with experiences they do not get inside hospital walls. To do this, the residents will be going into the community to visit programs and talk with providers and the people they serve. I am looking for a few parents who would be interested in meeting as a group with the resident to share their thoughts, experiences, and struggles with raising kids. The next resident is scheduled to be with me on Wednesday, December 19th. The meeting would be 30 to 45 minutes long and scheduled between 10:15 AM and 11:30 AM. If interested in participating please send me an email georgette.ayres@pucs.org by December 12th.
Is anyone planning to see Mary Poppins Returns over the holidays? (I hear Lin-Manuel Miranda is in it for all of you Hamilton fans.) Is anyone interested in seeing it on January 2nd (early in the day) with other students and families from PUCS? In the past I have arranged for groups to attend showings of movies at Phoenix Theaters in North Versailles. If we can get 25 or more people we can get discounted tickets, a snack pack (optional), and possibly a theater to ourselves. Historically the tickets have been $4 and the snack pack which includes a 16oz drink, small popcorn, and a gummy candy is $5. Please complete the 2 question Surveymonkey by December 11th. If there is enough interest I will contact the theater to make arrangements.
