Heart Week February 10-12, 2025

We are mid way through January, which means Heart Week is only a month away. Heart Week is a long-standing tradition at PICS. A week is set aside where the focus is to raise funds for an orphanage called the Mufu Home in Kenya.

At this point we'd like to give you a brief overview of some of the events and activities that are a part of Heart Week. More details and a full schedule will be shared with you over the next few weeks, so please check the newsletter for additional information.

· The fundraising begins with a coin race for grades K-6 and that starts on Monday, Feb. 3. This fundraiser runs until Feb.12th. The Student Council is organizing the coin race and will reveal details to students at the beginning of February.

· The high school students’ fundraising activities for the Mufu Home will involve an Auction, and the details will be shared with students closer to the date. The Auction is scheduled for the afternoon of Mufu Day, Feb. 12.

· This year Heart Week runs from Feb. 10-12. It will begin with a full school -Assembly on Monday morning, followed by the school pancake breakfast on Tuesday morning. MUFU Day is on Wednesday, and it is jammed packed with events the entire day. It will feature the Winter OlymPICS for K-6 students in the morning, a hot dog lunch and a carnival and rummage sale in the afternoon. The gr. 7-9 students will set up their carnival games in the morning and run their games in the afternoon. The high school students will help out at the PICS Olympics in the morning, take a break for lunch and have their fundraiser Auction and Minute-to-Win-It Challenge in the afternoon.

· There is a concession on Feb. 12 (MUFU Day) that will sell snacks in the morning and hotdogs at lunch. Look for an order form for students in grades K-6, they can pre-order their lunch and it will be delivered to their classrooms. The older students (grades 7-12) do not preorder their lunch, they will be expected to go to the concession to purchase food directly from the concession).

· Parents are welcome to join us on Mufu Day!
