WhatDoesOurPACDo?
Phelps couldn't offer programs, field trips, and fun activities without our Parent Advisory Council (PAC) Members. Our PAC Leadership plans and works on fundraising activities so that Phelps Elementary students and families have access to special activities and programs.
Our PAC Leadership team and those that attend our meetings all have full-time jobs and support Phelps through volunteering their time to plan and work at our many events. This work is a team effort, and Phelps Elementary truly appreciates the efforts of our PAC. A big thank you needs to go out to our PAC Leadership Team:
Tracy O'Donnell, President
Heather Pratt, Vice President
Alex Dacey, Vice President
Kristen Woods, Treasurer
Shannon Howard, Treasurer
Amy Lynch, Secretary
And many thanks to those who regularly attend our meetings to support Phelps Elementary School.
What Does Phelps Elementary School PAC Do?
Fundraise for field trips, transportation (buses for field trips) and special events.
Report to School Committee on fundraising events and programs.
Bring in programs & special speakers.
Volunteer to help at our school events.
Help us raise funds for charity (Turkey Feather Challenge) and shop for families in need of support. We were able to buy eight holiday meals for local families for Thanksgiving, and eight more for Christmas. They shopped and provided the meals for us to give out.
Continue to support those in need throughout the year through various fundraising and collections.
Plan and fund end of year events--Field Day, field trips, grade 4 graduation, grade 4 yearbooks, and so much more!
Provide thank-you luncheons and surprises for staff for the first day of school for staff and for Teacher Appreciation Week.
Fundraise for PAC sponsored scholarships for our Rockland Seniors graduating from high school.
Sponsor and fund school assemblies.
Run Book Fairs & Holiday Shopping Days for our students and families.
If Phelps Elementary did not have our PAC team, we would be unable to run so many programs for our students. We would love to have more families join our monthly PAC meetings. If you are unable to attend the meetings, reach out to volunteer some time to set up events, prepare materials, make phone calls to businesses for support, or find programs to bring to our school. The Phelps PAC email is phelpspac@rocklandschools.org. We need you!
