Peoria Public Schools is hosting a Parent University on Tuesday, April 30th from 5:00-7:00 pm for our students and families and we would love if you could join us!
The Parent University theme will be The Summer Mindset Block Party and will be hosted at the Von Steuben Fields behind the Peoria Public Schools Administration Building. It will celebrate the school year and showcase summer opportunities and programs both within the school district and the community at large. Like school days, the event will be a mix of fun and education. Tables/stations will be set-up for families to learn more about the summer opportunities (and hopefully, enroll their students.) There will also be family-fun activities like bounce houses, water arches, face paint, etc – we are still working out those details.
Each year, letter carriers across the country head out on their routes on the second Saturday in May to collect donations of non-perishable food items to benefit local food pantries. Since launching in 1993, the National Association of Letter Carriers’ annual Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive has grown into the nation’s largest one-day food drive, helping to fill the shelves of food banks in cities and towns throughout the United States.
The need is great, but you can help. We invite you to join letter carriers and our partner organizations in the fight to end hunger in our communities by participating in the annual Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive.
Simply leave your donation of non-perishable food in a bag near your mailbox on the second Saturday in May, and your letter carrier will do the rest.
