Legacy Scholarship Winners!

Traditionally our Legacy Scholarship Winners take a few hours of summer to shop for their school supplies at Target with their assigned PCWL mom. It is always fun to see what they have chosen to begin their college experience - everything from garbage cans, bedsheets, drawers, personal toiletry items to kitchenware! This year was no different - starting with a strong Starbucks drink, then spend around 1-1.5 hours loading up their baskets with input from the experienced college PCWL moms on how to best spend their Legacy dollars.

Many Legacy recipients from past years have expressed what a difference this scholarship made to their college experience. Every little thing helps -- and it was evident that this year's recipients were serious as they brought their own gift cards to add to the pile of spending on goods as well as special coupons that they had previously researched. We are so proud of all of you and wish you the very best as you begin your new journey in life! Thank you PCWL moms for your time and enthusiasm each and every year! Also thank you to our committee who reads, evaluates and decides on the scholarship recipients, led by our Chairpersons Lisa Albert and Deanna Carrillo!

YEARS AND COUNTING!

As another PCWL year ends, a huge milestone begins for our organization .... the beginning of 15 years of community support for Pearce area schools!  Our moms have made a difference in lives with donations of school supplies, troop care items, hunger relief, toys for children, Pearce Mum Store creations, tutoring, volunteer hours and tens of thousands of dollars in scholarships.  This is just a small sample of the amazing community service shared by our members in addition to continuing lifelong friendships with moms that have shared a lot of Pearce High School memories together with their graduates.  

Not just charity and support, friendship is key as well, with our members participating in book club, dinners together (even dinner clubs), social gatherings and even classes on mahjong (one of many examples).  

We would LOVE to have you join us as our organization continues its mission to serve this community in many ways!  If your last Pearce High school student is going into their senior year -- OR -- if all of your Pearce High school students have graduated, this is a wonderful way to stay involved!  Please contact our Membership Chairperson, Heather Novak or you can sign-up or renew at Member Signup / Information!

A HUGE thank you to our PCWL member, Heather Novack and her husband, Kent for hosting a well-attended FUN-raising event this year! What an amazing success as the wonderful food was donated and we had generous items for the small auction to raise extra funds for our PCWL scholarships. Thanks to all who attended and for those who have already made your required donation to continue funding our mission. We truly appreciate the time and funds provided by our membership to continue our goals of PCWL.

If you haven't done so already, please use THIS LINK to make your donation since the end of school is near and we will be announcing our scholarship winners soon!

In other exciting news, Kim Caston announced that PCWL will be celebrating 15 years of community leadership for its students by holding a HUGE party and golf tournament at Canyon Creek in the upcoming PCWL year. Check out all of the event photos HERE. Stay tuned ..... meanwhile, enjoy a few party scenes!

Pearce Community Women's League (PCWL) was created in 2010 by a group of very involved moms whose children had recently or already graduated from JJ Pearce. It was formed for the purpose of staying involved in our RISD community of schools as well as a social outlet for keeping in touch with so many school-related activities in which they had been involved (i.e. PTA, booster clubs, athletic functions). To date PCWL has provided hundreds of thousands of dollars in scholarships to deserving students from the JJ Pearce area as well as a thriving social base with many types of activities ranging from monthly dinner gatherings, to book club, Troop care and various casual social events. If your children have graduated from JJ Pearce or are seniors this year, we would love to have you join our members in their fun and productive activities in your off-time! Please email our Membership Chairperson,Heather Novak, for further information!

Below are some fun moments captured at recent events!

PCWL PROVIDES TROOP CARE

Twice a year, our PCWL ladies gather to assemble goodie boxes for our Troops - whether stationed in the United States borders or located overseas. It is a fun and social evening for our members and the resulting stuffed boxes will be a welcome joy to those recipients.

The boxes contain donated new items from many members that include personal hygiene goods, snacks, games, puzzles, tea, coffee, writing paper, pens, insect repellant, hand warmers, flashlights and health items.  Also inserted into each box are precious thank you and appreciation cards produced by Pearce-area elementary students as well as custom made cards by some of our members.
