PES Carnival Packs Them In!

Doug Gregory | Projects, What's Happening

Thanks to all the Pierceton School Alumni who helped with the Carnival on January 26. More than 200 students, parents, and grandparents mobbed the gymnasium for games and fun. There were also over 40 PTO members and PSA Alumni who gathered to ensure the event went off as planned.

We offer a special thanks to the PTO for the outstanding organization and planning for the Carnival. It was a simple matter for Alumni to walk into their assigned positions and immediately get to work helping students get the most from their time there.

We also want to thank the Pierceton-Area businesses and community-minded individuals for their financial support of the event. Without them, the school could not have held the event.

Happy New (Time to get involved!) from PSAA

Happy New (Time to get involved!) from PSAA

The new year is the perfect time to get involved with other alumni in the Alumni Back-to-School Project. You can be a continuing part of the heritage and tradition of Pierceton High School by volunteering your time at the new elementary school.

The school is asking alumni to help with everything from working with students to making copies in the mail room. The students seem more adorable than ever, and the faculty and staff are very appreciative. You’ll have more fun doing this than you had at your 50th Alumni Banquet.

If you can spend an hour or so each month, call Doug Gregory at 260-437-9935 or email piercetonalumni@comcast.net.

Santa’s Workshop was an enormous success this year!

The Pierceton Elementary School PTO held its annual Santa’s Workshop on December 4, 5, and 6. Three alumni and three FOAs (Friends of Aluminums) helped kids with their purchases, wrapped gifts, and did other odd jobs to keep the Workshop moving. Take a look at the PSAA Projects/Alumni Back-to-School Project page to catch a glimpse of real Christmas Spirit. Participants had a great time and students got great gifts for their families and friends.

There are more PTO events coming up early in 2019. If you can help, please call Doug Gregory at 260-437-9935 or email piercetonalumni@comcast.net.

YOU can make a difference at the Pierceton Elementary School!

PSAA President Frank Rhoades (Class of 1969) announced on Wednesday, November 14 that the Association is entering a partnership with the Pierceton Elementary School that will allow alumni to assist faculty, staff, and students at the elementary school. Principal Mike McClain‘s office has identified a number of activities at which alumni can help the school serve the community. These activities range from making copies to assisting with PTO events to working with students.

Read more about the Alumni Back-to-School Project on the What’s Happening page, and volunteer for the activity you like best!

The nature of the activities will allow alumni to choose what they would like to do, when they would like to do it, and how long they would like to work at it. There are NO long-term obligations or repeating commitments to make. This is a WIN-WIN for the PSAA and the elementary school.

Principal McClain stated that the program provides an excellent opportunity for alumni pass on the legacy of the Pierceton School experience to a new generation. He also emphasized the fulfillment alumni can expect from being able to impact a young person’s life.

Call Doug Gregory at (260) 437-9935 or email him for more information about how you can be involved.
