Help make a difference in a child's life
Just 5 minutes from PHPC is McShan Elementary School (near Presbyterian Hospital). 98% of the students at McShan are eligible for free or reduced lunches due to financial hardships and almost 75% of them have limited English skills. In fact, McShan has one of the largest populations of refugee students in the city. As part of PHPC's Vickery Meadow Ministry, we provide volunteer and financial support to the school throughout the year. The new principal of McShan has recently asked us for additional volunteer help after school on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday afternoons from 3:45 to 4:45 and on Saturday mornings from 8 - 12 p.m. No teaching experience is necessary. Please pick a day and time that works for you and help a child. Call now: Debbie Tunnell at 214-358-5487 or email her at debbietunnell@sbcglobal.net.

One-Time Volunteer Opportunity:
On Friday, March 2, at 10 a.m., DISD will host Read Across Dallas ISD in honor of Dr. Seuss’ birthday. Volunteers are needed to read The Lorax to PreK - 2 grade classrooms. Please consider giving a few hours of your time at McShan Elementary. Contact Dalene Buhl at dalenebuhl@gmail.com for more details.

Telescopes & Math/Science Volunteers Needed:
On Thursday, March 8, McShan is hosting a Math and Science Night at their Meadow Road campus.  As part of our support of McShan, we need at least two telescopes and telescope operators to help children learn how to use a telescope to see the stars in ways they have not before.  We also need youth and adults to help with fun math and science activities that night. If you are able to help or want more information, please contact Debbie Tunnell at debbietunnell@sbcglobal.net.

North Dallas Shared Ministries Collection

On Sunday, March 4, we will be collecting donations for the North Dallas Shared Ministries' food bank and clothing closet. The following items are needed: rice, cereal, tuna, macaroni and cheese, soup, peanut butter, pasta, spaghetti sauce, pineapple, sugar, toilet paper, toothpaste, sanitary napkins, bath soap and laundry soap. NDSM has also requested carrots, mixed vegetables, refried and black beans, spinach, and baby food.

In addition to the usual food goods, NDSM is also having a shoe and warm clothing drive. They are asking for shoes and warm clothing for school-aged children. NDSM is also in need of men’s pants with 32 and 34 inch waists.

Please leave your donations in the Atrium.
