Holiday Giving Tree

Palisades Community Foundation...We are here for Palisades!!!  

Many, MANY thanks to all of the community members who have donated to our Giving Tree this holiday season!  We have received so many packages that are wrapped and ready to go to our families represented on the tree!  Thank you to EVERYONE for your overwhelming generosity!

We are still in need of gift cards, if you can help.  Please drop them off at the high school on Monday, if you happen to pick any up over the weekend!  Target, Walmart and Kohls are always a good choice and in increments of $25 work perfectly!  Thank you again for your kindness and giving to those who need a little help this holiday season!  

We definitely live and work in a community of givers...it is a beautiful sight to see when all of the gifts are ready to be delivered to the schools for pick up!  Next week will be busy here at the District Office (aka the Kintnersville extension of the North Pole)!  Also, special thanks to our school counselors - Lori Tirjan and Brianna Waldmann (PHS), Amber Brown (PALMS), Amy Doll (Spr), Jaclyn Williams (DN), and Alison Dorward (Tin) - as well as Katie Lloyd and Monique Jones (districtwide) AND Diana Santoro (Santa's #1 Elf) for pulling this together for our families!  You are NOT getting coal in your stockings this year, GUARANTEED!

OTHER GROUPS SUPPORTED BY PCF AND YOUR DONATIONS...

Girls on the Run

The Palisades Girls on the Run (GOTR) team had a great day last Sunday at the Naval shipyard 5K event! It started as a chilly early morning, but warmed up quickly and all 10 girls who attended did a phenomenal job completing the whole course!!  We are so proud of them, and want to thank PCF for helping make this event become possible for these Palisades students!! We are all looking forward to running the PCF 5K in the spring (May 17th), and bringing GOTR back to Palisades next fall for another awesome season!  PCF donated $600 towards the busing costs for this trip to the city!

Polar Plunge 2024

BRRRR...Today, this group of students from PHS took the Polar Plunge at Pennridge HS to support Special Olympics!  What a day to take a swim!!!  PCF also supported the group's efforts by donating $1000 to Special Olympics!
