We’re In This…Together!
TOGETHER we are doing great things! Thanks to your generous support during the pandemic, we’ve fed families and delivered books and school supplies to families in need throughout PASD. But additional needs remain this fall. Our students started school on Monday virtually, using personal or PASD-supplied laptops. We all quickly realized how crucial internet access is.
First Day of School 2020 Signs
Monday is #PASDFirstDay and PCEF wants to help you mark this virtual occasion. Let's show our Phantom Pride! We created two versions of our #PASDFirstDay sign for you to print and use to take a photo of your child.
“We Love PASD” Yard Signs
The COVID-19 crisis abruptly changed the educational world. Here in our town, teachers, administrators, principals, and families worked together to keep our students connected and engaged in learning. Displaying this sign in your yard will show your support for all the people who are working hard on behalf of education in Phoenixville, including our wonderful students!
How You Can Help Students During This Crisis
PASD has committed to ensuring our students continue to receive meal support while schools are closed in response to the COVID-19 virus. PCEF is accepting donations to the TOGETHER WE CAN fund, in order to help pay for supplemental meals for hungry students and to help provide things like WiFi hotspots and technology to students who cannot afford them.
The 2020 Phantom Fundraiser – one for the books!
THANK YOU to everyone who helped support the 2020 Phantom Fundraiser. This year's event was one of the most successful in recent memory. We are pleased to announce that our generous donors raised over $114,000 to support education in the PASD schools! We are so grateful to everyone who donated, attended, volunteered or helped in any way with this fundraiser.
2020 Phantom Fundraiser
Book the babysitters and grab your dancing shoes, it’s time for the annual PCEF Phantom Fundraiser! This popular event, attended by over 300 parents, teachers, administrators, and community members, raises funds to support education programs throughout PASD.
Be a “Secret Helper” This Holiday!
Your donations recently helped to pay off the student lunch debt for some students at the Phoenixville Area Early Learning Center. Families experiencing financial hardship are often unable to keep up with lunch costs which means students incur debt. In PASD no student is ever turned away or "lunch shamed." Recently some 'secret helpers' (a.k.a. PCEF donors) delivered a check to pay off the PAELC lunch debt.
