Ways to Get Involved at PEC

Our PEC Principal, Teachers, and Staff are the backbone of our school. But our Parents, Grandparents, and other Volunteers play a huge role in supporting our school programs, classrooms, and ensuring our students have enrichment education. 

You can get involved without a huge a time commitment!

  1. Simply join the PTA and attend just 4 meetings during the school year - usually two evening meetings and two morning meetings. Dinner and childcare provided for the evening meetings. (View calendar for dates)

  2. Join a committee. See committee descriptions below.

  3. Volunteer at specific events. Read the Weekly Splash for updates on Events and links to volunteer sign-ups. 

Join a Committee or Help with an Event 

Check out the different PEC Committees below and let us know if you'd be interested in joining one. If you want to be a volunteer for specific events as they occur throughout the year, just let us know you want to be on the event volunteer list and we'll share sign-up forms as events get planned. 

​

Events include: Fall Social, Fall Give, Jog-a-thon, Teacher Appreciation Week, Fiesta Showcase, and the Nighttime Fundraiser.

PEC Committees

Fundraising

Paul Ecke Central's fundraising committee needs you! Come join us in raising funds for crucial PEC educational programs and much more. 

 

California public funding does not cover all of our specialized teachers and it is up to the parents at PEC to raise money for our Garden and STEAM teachers' salaries. We also fundraise for field trips and buses, clubs and community events, teacher needs, scholarships, grants and much more! Our committee raises funds annually in three ways - FALL GIVE, JOGATHON, and our ever popular NIGHT TIME FUNDRAISER. In order to make these events a success we need you! All help is welcome, from sending emails, making posters and flyers, soliciting silent auction items, handing out water at our jogathon, making bouquets or decorating.......every little bit helps, and it is FUN!

 

email fundraisingpec@gmail.com for more info and to be added to the committee list.

Garden Committee
