Turkey Trot and Thanksgiving Feast

The PUCE Turkey Trot is next Friday, November 22 from 9:00 to 10:15 AM at the PUC Track. Donations will go toward the Hot Springs Library in North Carolina, which was badly damaged by Hurricane Helene. Our theme this year is Cultivating Community, and libraries are the heart of a community!

Sponsorship forms have been sent home. Please remind your children to get sponsors and collect donations. We will accept donations until December 19. If sponsors prefer, they can donate online here: https://www.pucelementary.org/turkey-trot

The Turkey Trot will be followed by our annual Thanksgiving Feast. Each class will be in charge of bringing a food for the feast:

• K-2: Salad, Veggies, or Fruit

• 3-4: Mashed Potatoes and Gravy

• 5-6: Stuffing or Mac & Cheese

• 7-8: $5-$10 cash for Dinner Roasts (the school will purchase)

• The Parent Club will provide water, pies, and rolls.

No After-School Care Next Friday

Please note that we will not have after-school care available next Friday, November 22. Please plan to pick up your child at noon. For those registered with the Howell Mountain Boys & Girls Club, you may drop your child off there after they open at 2:35 PM.

Please note that the music presented at the Christmas church service and the Christmas program will be completely different, so you should plan to come to both events!

Concert Attire Swap

If you have concert attire such as black dress pants or skirts/dresses, white or black dress shirts, black dress shoes, etc. that your child has outgrown, feel free to bring it to the school to share with others. We will have a table set up in the school lobby so that you may leave or take what you need.

Power Outage Assistance

See below for assistance if you were affected by the recent PSPS. Please note that you must apply within seven days after power restoration.

The Haven Church in Deer Park will be collecting shoebox gifts for Operation Christmas Child in November. If you would like to participate, we have a few shoeboxes available here at the school. Contact Jewel Aaen at 707-337-9946 for questions or further information.
