Dear CCLC parents,
Over the last several years, the PIC (Parent Involvement Committee) has developed new programs and planned many center-wide activities. The PIC welcomes parent participation in all areas of the PIC and has broken PIC activities into committees to allow more opportunity for involvement. Please review the committee descriptions below and find an area that most interests you to volunteer for. The time commitment varies by committee and no special skills are needed! Please complete and detach the bottom portion of this page and return it to the envelope marked “committees” on the PIC bulletin board at the front of the center if you are interested. Each committee will have a chairperson (s) who will contact you with more details once the committees are formed. Questions can be directed to LeAnne Kennedy or Pamela Runnels. Finally, please join us for our monthly PIC planning/information meetings, held the first Thursday of each month from 12-1 in the Multi-purpose Room in the center.
Bookfair- Help organize, promote, set up and staff the center’s 2 bookfairs each year (fall and spring). The bookfair lasts 1 week and shifts last 1-3 hours. Contact: Jon Wells or Maryam Ahmed
Thanksgiving Staff Luncheon- Help promote, set up, clean up and serve our staff a Thanksgiving holiday luncheon. This is a one-time event. Contact: Crystal Holmes
Staff Appreciation Events- Help plan, promote and implement monthly snacks, treats, prizes, cards for the staff. (examples: “screechers lounge”, May flowers, artwork cards in the hallway, “beat the heat” lemonade, “luck of the Irish” pot of gold). There is a budget for these events. Contacts: Letitia Perdue and Sarah Strahm
Enrichment- Help plan and implement a monthly or every other month in-center enrichment activity for all classes. These activities are in lieu of field trips but allow for outside activities to come to the center. (examples: African Drums, harp playing, Young Chefs Academy, firetrucks) Contact: Cynthia Van Horn
Mission Activities- Help plan, organize and implement quarterly center-wide (children, staff and families) drives that assist those in our community in need. This allows our children to learn the importance of helping others (examples- canned food drive, cards for the troops, Brenner’s toiletry drive) Contact: Lisa Cassidy-Vu
Summer Kick Off Party- Help plan, organize, promote and throw the center-wide party at the beginning of the summer. This has been held at Bolton Park and Tanglewood pool. There is a budget for this event. This is a one-time event. Contact: Amy Guerrini
