As we begin to head into the last marking period of the year we have lots of fun things ahead that will require volunteer clearances in order for parents/guardians to participate. Things like Mini-THON, field trips, field day and end of the year celebrations all require clearances.
If you have not yet done your clearances or they have expired we highly suggest getting them done sooner rather than later so you do not miss out on any of these opportunities.
You can visit the Volunteers Newsletter which includes links to the Pennsbury website, Volunteer Tracker Portal and Volunteer Affirmation Form along with a FAQ section to answer your questions.
If at anytime you have questions regarding clearances or to check your status please email me at mjohnson@pennsburysd.org.
Join us in the Learning Garden! Volunteers must have clearances on file in the office. See the Sign Up Genius for all the details:

Makefield Community Outreach
Dear Makefield Families,
Makefield Community Outreach (formally known as the Sunshine Committee) would like to take a moment to let you know more about what we do. This program is sponsored by the MESPTO and has a mission to support teachers, students, and their families to ensure that the entire Makefield community has what they need to be successful in school. In order to reach our entire school community we would like to take this time to describe the resources that we have available this fall and winter. We will reach out again in the spring with more information about future opportunities.
If you would like to use any of the options below, please reach out to Colleen Wierzbowski cwierzbowski@pennsburysd.org. To respect the privacy of all of our community members, Colleen will be the only one to receive emails and requests. The committee will fulfill her requests, but will never know who the resources are going to.
In the Fall and throughout the year we provide:
Teachers with Back to School Gift Cards to help set up their classrooms
The Nurse with new clothes for days when kids might need to change
Daily Snacks for each classroom like pretzels or animal crackers for days when kids forget
Halloween costumes
Books for reading at home
Back to school supplies
Vouchers for Oktoberfest
Vouchers for Thanksgiving pies
Scholarships for Fall Enrichment classes and Field Trips
Gift cards for food and clothes
In the Winter we provide:
Winter coats, boots, hats, and gloves
Vouchers for students to use at the Holiday Shop and the Book Fair
Vouchers for Paint Night
Valentines
Gift cards for food for holiday breaks
Thank you for your time,
~Makefield Community Outreach
