Makefield Community Outreach

Dear Makefield Families,

Makefield Community Outreach (formally known as the Sunshine Committee) would like to take a moment to let you know more about what we do. This program is sponsored by the MESPTO and has a mission to support teachers, students, and their families to ensure that the entire Makefield community has what they need to be successful in school. In order to reach our entire school community we would like to take this time to describe the resources that we have available this fall and winter. We will reach out again in the spring with more information about future opportunities.

If you would like to use any of the options below, please reach out to Colleen Wierzbowski cwierzbowski@pennsburysd.org. To respect the privacy of all of our community members, Colleen will be the only one to receive emails and requests. The committee will fulfill her requests, but will never know who the resources are going to.

In the Fall and throughout the year we provide:

Teachers with Back to School Gift Cards to help set up their classrooms
The Nurse with new clothes for days when kids might need to change
Daily Snacks for each classroom like pretzels or animal crackers for days when kids forget
Halloween costumes
Books for reading at home
Back to school supplies
Vouchers for Oktoberfest
Vouchers for Thanksgiving pies
Scholarships for Fall Enrichment classes and Field Trips
Gift cards for food and clothes

In the Winter we provide:

Winter coats, boots, hats, and gloves
Vouchers for students to use at the Holiday Shop and the Book Fair
Vouchers for Paint Night
Valentines
Gift cards for food for holiday breaks

Thank you for your time,

~Makefield Community Outreach

Important: Changes in Student Dismissal Procedures

If you need to change how your child is getting home from school, please follow the steps below:

All dismissal changes must be submitted by 1:00 p.m. This ensures the office, teacher, and your child receive the information on time.
Changes must be in writing. For the safety of all of our students we are unable to accept dismissal changes over the phone.
Email your change request to: mkattendance@pennsburysd.org.
Please include:
- Your child’s full name
- Their teacher’s name
- The specific change in dismissal

If your child is going home with another student as a car rider:

We require a note or email from both sets of parents (the parent of the child going home and the parent doing the pickup).
Please note: Students are not permitted to ride a different bus home.

Thank you for helping us ensure a safe and smooth dismissal process for all students.
