Welcome to our blog! The purpose of the Parent Communications Council
(PCC) is to enhance the family experience and to support the ECDC
teachers and staff. Take a look at the next post in this blog to see
what events and activities were held by the ECDC PCC this year so far.
Each month, the PCC meets to discuss and plan projects and special
events. There are a number of specific committees and parents are always
welcome to join the committees at any time. PCC meetings are held on
the second Wednesday of each month at 7:30 PM at the ECDC, with the
exception of December. While we welcome and encourage you to attend, it
is important to note that you do not need to attend the meetings in
order to volunteer on a committee. In fact, the majority of our
volunteers cannot attend on a regular basis, but are willing to pitch-in
and help whenever their schedule permits.
Here is a list of the committees in need of volunteers:
• The Cultural Enrichment Committee plans special
events for the children at ECDC – usually it is a spring (March/April
timing) event which takes place during the school day. Previous years
have included Rick Golden, Elaine Kessler, and Pumpernickel Puppets.
The kids and staff love the event(s) the committee puts together!
• The Blog Committee posts news from PCC and other
material of interest to parent and caregivers, to help keep you in the
know with regard to what’s happening at school.
• The Community Involvement Committee helps coordinate a
number of great community events such as: food drives for the Franklin
Food Pantry; making holiday placemats for Meals on Wheels; working with
the Santa Foundation during the holiday season; delivering Valentines
at the Forge Hill Senior Center.
• The Fundraising Committee coordinates a small event
in the fall and one larger fundraising event which takes place in the
spring. The fall event includes coordinating and creating gift baskets
for raffle during the Open House in October. Our larger spring event
has included working with vendors like Mixed Bag Designs and Flower
Power. The money is used to support the teachers and staff and provide
them with some “extras” that help enhance the educational experience of
our children.
• The Spirit Wear Committee promotes school spirit and pride by ordering and selling ECDC logo apparel.
• The Staff Appreciation Committee and the June Family
Fun Fair Committee each work to organize these end-of-the-year events
that celebrate our teachers and our students.
• The Construction Committee helps teachers get the class material ready, by photocopying, cutting, gluing, stapling, etc.
There are many ways to be involved and the PCC welcomes and encourages
your participation! If you have any questions about the PCC at ECDC,
please feel free to contact the Chair, Amy Danahy, at fischyswim@yahoo.com.
Thank you for your interest in the ECDC - PCC!
