On Friday, March 9, the Parent Resource Center (PRC) will honor four amazing, dedicated teachers and volunteers. Nicole Asselta, Hope Pecullan, Jennifer Schiffer, and Gail Thrope are the heart and soul of the PRC’s Outreach Program, specifically its Stepping Stones classes. These women plan and execute a weekly preschool experience for children from low-income families (beginning as infants and ending at 4 years old) in Port Washington. After completing the program these children enter the Port Washington School District with the basic skills they need to flourish.
This year’s event will be held at the Village Club of Sands Point. The theme is “masquerade” and will feature casino games, live music, a strolling magician, raffles baskets, silent auction items, dinner, and cocktails. This event is sold out but if you would like to make a donation to the PRC visit https://tinyurl.com/yapvd7f2

Thank you, Peter & Jeri Dejana Family Foundation, ProHEALTH Urgent Care a division of ProHEALTH Care, ProHEALTH Dental, TD Bank, Joseph D’Alonzo and Dina DeGiorgio. We are also the proud recipient of support from the Community Chest of Port Washington.
