You all made ArtStart happen

a message from Executive Director Jamila Carter (pictured right)

Dear PIC Community,

I just wanted to send a quick note to say how grateful I am for this community. Thanks to you all, Art Start was such a beautiful night! So many of you jumped in and helped in different ways.

The Art Start committee was incredible! Thank you for the many hours you spent meeting, planning, bringing in fresh ideas, and securing donations and sponsorships. Room parents, you pulled together donations for the beautiful baskets. Families and volunteers spread the word, brought basket and auction items, and showed up wherever help was needed. The admin team was nonstop with planning, setup, and keeping things moving behind the scenes - super special thanks to our Development Manager, Karen Stachelek! Thank you to the Board for your supportive leadership. And tremendous thanks to our teachers for guiding the children's art projects, and offering childcare so families could actually relax and enjoy the evening!

I’m really grateful to be in community with you all.

With Gratitude,
