PUCE Ski Day - New Date

On Thursday, March 6, PUCE will be heading to Donner Ski Ranch for a day of fun in the snow. This ski trip is open to everyone, but K-4 students must be accompanied by an adult if they go. Students in grades 5-8 are invited with or without a parent. All of the information is included in the email sent by Mr. Lee yesterday.

Permission slips were also sent home with students yesterday, and the payment and rental forms are available in the office (or Mr. Lee's email). Forms are due on Monday, February 24 so that we can make all arrangements with the mountain and for drivers. If you are an approved driver and are willing to transport 5th-8th graders with you, please indicate on the form and I will contact you about our needs. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to email Mr. Lee at mlee@pucprep.org.

Ice Skating Trip - New Date

The ice skating rink was not able to have our school come on the date we planned, so we have changed the date to April 2. We will be sending out permission slips closer to the date. Cost will be $10/skater and will include a pizza lunch.

Assistance for the Henry Family

Many in our community know Bryan and Beata Henry and their two boys, Elliot and Felix. Bryan is a former teacher at Foothills Elementary, and Beata is a graphic designer. On January 13, Bryan suffered a major medical issue and is now hospitalized in San Francisco. 

How You Can Help

There is still a need for financial support to help cover gas, medical expenses, and other bills. If you’d like to contribute, you can send checks to:
 

Beata Henry
c/o St. Helena SDA Church
1777 Main Street
St. Helena, CA 94574

If you prefer, you can also send support via Venmo: @Beata-Henry
Cash and checks (made out to Beata Henry) can also be dropped off at the PUC Church office.

Bryan and especially his wife, Beata, warmly welcome visits at the CPMC Van Ness Campus (1101 Van Ness Avenue, San Francisco), where he awaits transfer to UCSF as soon as a bed opens up. Thank you for keeping Bryan and his family in your thoughts. Your prayers, visits, and acts of kindness mean the world to them and are a vital source of hope and encouragement during this challenging time.
