Parent Action Committee

The Parent Action Committee ("PAC") is a parent-driven committee created to foster a sense of community within the school, enhance each child's school experience and provide opportunities for parents to participate in the Columbus Pre-School experience. PAC is proud of its many accomplishments from last school year. PAC raised a record amount in 2005-2006 through its yearly gift wrap sales, book fair and its first annual Raffle and Silent Auction. We could not have done this without the hard-working parent volunteers and the generous donations from parents and community businesses. We also sponsored the City Parenting Series and the first annual Columbus Pre-School Spring Carnival. In addition to providing support, fun and enrichment activities to our own Columbus Pre-School community, PAC also gives back to our larger New York City communities. Our children enjoy giving to others during our food, toy and clothing drives, as well as our visits to a local Senior Retirement Home.

This school year promises to be even better and busier! In addition to continuing our successful events from last year, we also plan on having a Pajama Party Bake Sale; more great enrichment activities such as a visit from a nutritionist, firefighter/police officer and a dental hygienist. The children have been invited by the Atria Senior Retirement Home to join their chorus and perform with them.

Working together we make this already fabulous school and community even better.
