Mondays with Mike: Celebrating PCA Volunteers–The Heart of Our Community

Dear PCA Community,

Welcome back to school after a festive Thanksgiving break! As we dive into the holiday season, bask in the glow of Christmas joy illuminating our school and community here in New England. This episode is a heartfelt tribute to the lifeblood of our institution – our incredible volunteers. Join us as we spotlight the stories of these dedicated individuals who generously give their time, making a significant impact on the school community.

4 Key Takeaways:

• Essential Contributions: PCA relies on its robust volunteer community, with over 400 individuals annually supporting events, classroom activities, security, sports, and more.
• Deep Connections: Volunteers build meaningful relationships with students, teachers, and other families, enhancing the sense of community and fostering spiritual growth.
• Positive Role Modeling: Volunteers not only help the school function but also model servant leadership and Christ-centered values, inspiring both students and staff.
• Broad Impact: The volunteer culture at PCA extends beyond the school, enriching the local community and cultivating a generation of students who are eager to serve.

Meet Summer Heath, our dedicated volunteer coordinator, who shares her inspiring journey from being a parent at PCA to becoming a pivotal leader in our community. Joining her are three incredible volunteers: Melissa Spaulding, Enid Band, and Jennifer O’Donnell, each bringing unique perspectives and heartfelt stories that illustrate the profound impact of volunteering. Their experiences reveal how acts of service—big and small—transform not only the school but also their own lives.

From coordinating events and managing logistics to providing art and sports support, these volunteers contribute in countless ways that directly enhance student experiences. Their stories reflect the vital role of service in fostering deep connections among students, families, and the broader community. Volunteers don’t just assist—they shape a culture of care, reinforcing PCA’s values of service, Christ-centeredness, and togetherness.

Heartwarming accounts reveal the joy and gratitude from students and staff, underscoring the profound effects of these contributions. Whether helping with costumes for a school play, organizing meals for events, or simply being present, volunteers create moments that resonate far beyond PCA’s walls. These acts of kindness strengthen our ties and ripple outward, impacting lives in ways that are both seen and unseen.

Consider becoming part of this vibrant and transformative network. As these stories show, volunteering enriches our collective journey, making PCA a community where every act of service builds a tapestry of shared hope, joy, and purpose. Together, we can continue shaping the future of our children and our world.
