Ways To Get Involved

Volunteer at a Community Care event
- Bi-annual districtwide event held in August and April
- Volunteers come together to complete tasks such as weeding, litter pick-up, or spreading mulch around flower beds & trees.
Help organize a work party at your school any time of year
- PPS can bring in partner organizations to support your event with volunteers and clean-up tools
- PPS can provide waste services (yard debris or garbage) for any event
- PPS can provide 5 cubic yards of mulch to Title IA schools once each year
- Chip Drop, and similar services, are prohibited for events because play areas require Engineered Wood Fiber (EWF) chips, which are specifically required for playground areas for safety and longevity.
Donate!
- The Fund for PPS is working to help schools with outdated outdoor spaces reimagine their schoolyards with improvements such as depaving, accessible play structures, gardens, increased tree canopy, and green infrastructure.
