- Art & Garden Celebration- April 30, 2022
- This is our largest fun and fundraising event and we need many people to help us execute all facets of this event. Work for this starts in the fall, with acquisition of silent auction items, and heavy planning for other aspects begins in January. Please review all volunteer needs and choose something that interests you most!
- Blue Rocks Chorus Event
- May or June 2022 at The Wilmington Blue Rocks Stadium
- We need 1-2 parent volunteers to help organize our chorus event at a Blue Rocks Game. This includes assisting Mr. Jennings in promoting the event, ticket sales, and day-of help. The ideal parent(s) would have children in the 4th-5th grade PES Chorus. Questions about this post and/or interested in helping out? Send us an email at pespto@ucfsd.net
