What do children, our children, need to be healthy, both physically and emotionally? This question has become more and more common as we have been confronted by big events like COVID Recovery and Social Media,as well as other exposures to toxic circumstances. Fortunately, we know the answers.
George Scott, Founder of Minding Our Children and a Consultant with the Pennsbury School District, has previously met with our staff and our parents to discuss this important topic. What is it we can do in school, in the classroom and at home to better support our children regardless of age? Dr. Scott has talked with us about the need for Safety, for Calming and for Connection, all for the sake of healthy children...and healthy adults.
On Wednesday, January 17th beginning at 6:30 at the Village Park Academy, Dr. Scott will continue this conversation offering more insight and understanding to help all of us be more effective adults in the lives of children. Bring your questions and your concerns, and join the conversation.

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
