Message from the Board
Happy New Year Penn Wood families! We hope everyone had a lovely holiday season!
Here is a quick recap of what we’ve raised so far from events since the Fall FUNdraiser:
- Holiday Shop: Over $1,300- We hope you all loved the gifts that your children chose for you!
- Box Tops: $200- Thanks for continuing to scan your receipts.
- Pica’s & Chick-Fil-A Dine & Donate Nights: $335- Thanks for coming out!!
- School Store: Over $300 so far- Please check out the signup genius for volunteer opportunities.
This money gets used to make sure our children have an amazing year! They pay for our educational assemblies like the Najee Richardson assembly that we had on Thursday, our multiple guest speakers, supplies for our Baymax Lettuce Tower (ask your kid about this cool tower), field trips for all grades and many more upcoming events! Big thanks for your continued support!

The 2023 Penn Wood Ice Skating Social will be held on Friday, January 13th from 2:30-4:30 p.m. (half day of school)!
Everyone must register online and the event has a max of 250 skaters, so please register early!
Are you a skating/hockey parent? We could use 2-3 volunteers to help tie skates for the first 20 minutes. If we have some extra volunteers, we could also use help with greeting/registration and monitoring the snacks.
Please contact Carolyn Thompson (610-842-0516) with any questions or to volunteer.
Pretzel Fridays
Would your child like to be added to the list for Pretzel Fridays? Sign up by Friday 1/13 to start receiving pretzels on Friday 1/20. If you signed up for the full year, no need to sign up again.
You can find more details on the signup form along with contact information for our school caseworker so no one misses out due to finances.
Limoncello Dine & Donate
School Store - Volunteers Needed!
The store will be open on Tuesday and Thursday mornings, with set up at 8:30am and break down at 9:00am. There can be one or two volunteers running the store per day but you must have your clearances on file with the school in order to do so. Sign up here. Contact Amy Anderman with any questions (akcahillRN@yahoo.com or 610-500-9825).
Penn Wood Chocolate Bowl
Our Penn Wood teachers and staff enjoy a chocolate treat, mints, even hard candy every so often. Home & School started a bowl of chocolate in 2020 and we would like to keep this going. If you would like to send a big bag (possibly from Costco) or 2 of individually wrapped candies, please sign up HERE!.
It doesn't have to be the exactly date you signed up for but any time that week would be great. There are about 60 staff members.
