How We Support FVE
We support the staff and students at FVE in many ways!
Loaves of Love
In February, we host a lunch for all the staff. We offer freshly made soups, salads, coffee, and chocolate, and Rollin' Street Bakery makes mini loaves of bread. It's a nice mid-winter break.
Staff Holiday Gifts
Our parent community raised $12,009 for holiday gifts for FVE staff this year. Some staff members were able to travel for the holidays, which wouldn't have been possible without parents' donations. The parents spread so much holiday cheer!
Parent Teacher Conferences
This is an essential part of connecting the parent community with teachers, and it makes for a long day at the school. PAC provides two hot meals for teachers to enjoy for dinner throughout the week. This year, for Fall conferences, we offered vegan/GF pasta and lasagnas, breads, salads, and homemade sweets!
Beginning Of The Year Teacher Fund
We fund programs, field trips, supplies, books, really anything the teacher needs (not provided by the district) for the classroom that supports them and their students. Every year, the PAC gives each teacher $300.
Teacher Appreciation Week
We love to SPOIL our teachers and staff and show our gratitude by supporting them during Teacher Appreciation Week. We are so grateful for the impactful work they do every single day. We cover their lunch and recess shifts, offer a pop-up classroom supply "store" where teachers can grab their favorite items, free massages, acupuncture, meals all week, coffee bars, and snacks and sweets galore!
End Of Year Staff Gifts
PAC loves supporting our fabulous FVE staff. Parents contributed to the End-of-Year Teacher Appreciation fund, raising $10,435! Parents loved how easy it was, and the teachers were overwhelmed with gratitude. What a great way to kick off summer!
Halloween Party
PAC plans and hosts a spooktacular Halloween party for all FVE families. This year, we had a contest for Pre-K-2 and 3-5 to see which classroom collected the most bags, and the winners got a Pizza Party hosted by Elevation Pizza. The kids collected 379 bags of candy!
Scholastic Book Fair
This is a FVE favorite. Every spring, the PAC hosts the Scholastic Book Fair. We raise enough to give every student in the school a book and fund teachers' classroom books.
Yahoo Boo Hoo Breakfast
On the first day of school, PAC hosts a breakfast for new families to learn about PAC, sign up for contact lists, and connect with other families at the school. It's a big welcome to the school year, with lots of tears and joy!
