Opportunities to Help Our Neighbors

Holiday Support - Our school will offer the opportunity to sponsor families in our community for the holidays. An Angel Tree is on display outside of our office during the holiday season. You are invited to take an angel from the tree, purchase the suggested item, and return it to us for delivery to a sponsored family. A flyer will be sent home during November asking for assistance with our Angel Tree or for monetary donations to be used to purchase Wal-Mart gift certificates for our families. Any assistance will be greatly appreciated!

Optimist Club Food Drive – The Peachtree City Optimist Club holds its annual food drive at PCES. Please help us collect non-perishable food items for this worthy organization that helps families in our community. If your family needs assistance with food now or for the holidays, please contact Ruth Cooper at (770) 631-3250. Help is just a phone call away.
