Our first two sewing camps were such a hit that our instructors have decided to offer a third day on Friday, October 16! There were several projects they had planned and prepared that students didn't get a chance to complete, and the kids have been so enthusiastic about sewing that we decided to keep the fun going!
More Sewing, More Creating!
This time, students will have the opportunity to work on some exciting new projects, including:
Rice bags – A fun and practical sewing project.
Cornhole bags – Students will create their own set of bags for the popular lawn game.
Stuffies and accessories – Our younger students (4th grade and below) have been asking to create more felt accessories for their stuffed creations or even make another stuffed friend. We love their enthusiasm, so we're making room for more creativity!
As always, activities will be adapted to students' ages and abilities, and no previous sewing experience is necessary. Students who didn't attend the first two camps are welcome to join us!
Camp Details
Friday, October 16
7:45 a.m.–3:30 p.m.
Open to all students in grades K–8
Cost: $25 per student
Families are also welcome to pay in the PCCS office to avoid the online card processing fee.
Interested in Purchasing a Sewing Machine?
Our instructors also have some exciting news! They were able to purchase several sewing machines at excellent prices and anticipate having 6–8 machines available for families to purchase at the conclusion of this camp.
Rather than putting these machines into storage, they'd love to see them go home with students who are excited to continue sewing!
Details about pricing and how the machines will be offered for sale will be shared soon. Availability will be limited.
We're thrilled that our Friday Enrichment opportunities are giving students the chance to discover new interests and develop skills they can enjoy for years to come.
We hope to see lots of students back for another fun day of sewing and creating!

We need volunteers to help with:
Sorting and organizing school supplies and equipment
Moving furniture and larger items
Deep cleaning classrooms and common areas

Our first Friday Enrichment Camp brought together students in grades K–8 for two fun-filled Fridays of creativity, learning, and sewing! Students learned new sewing skills, practiced using sewing machines, and put their creativity to work making some amazing projects—including bags, stuffies, and so much more!
We had a fantastic turnout and loved seeing our students try something new, learn from one another, and take pride in what they created. 💙
A HUGE thank you to our teachers who poured their time, energy, and creativity into making Stitch & Create such a success! We’re excited to kick off what we hope will be many more fun and engaging Friday Enrichment opportunities.
Our next Friday enrichment camp is this week: Volleyball Camp!
Registration is now open for our next Friday Enrichment opportunity: Volleyball Camp!
The camp will be held this Friday, September 18, from 7:45 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. and will be led by our very own Ms. Juliana, PCCS's volleyball coach!
The camp is open to all PCCS students in grades K–8 and all skill levels. Whether your child has never touched a volleyball or already has experience playing on a team, they are welcome to participate. Students will work on age- and skill-appropriate volleyball fundamentals through instruction, drills, games, and plenty of active play.
Cost: $20 per student
Please note that the online payment system charges a card processing fee. Families who would prefer to avoid the fee are welcome to pay in the PCCS office instead.
Students should come dressed for an active day, wear appropriate athletic shoes, and bring a water bottle.
Space is limited, so please register soon if your child would like to participate.
We're excited for another fun Friday Enrichment opportunity and very grateful to Ms. Juliana for sharing her volleyball experience with our students. We hope to see lots of students there!
Thanks,

Dear PCCS Families,
Registration is now open for our first Friday Enrichment opportunity: Stitch & Create Day Camp!
The camp will be held on Friday, September 4 and Friday, September 11, from 7:45 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.
During the two-day camp, students will learn basic sewing skills, practice using a sewing machine safely, and work on fun, beginner-friendly projects. Activities will be differentiated for students in grades K–8, and no previous sewing experience is necessary. Our instructors will provide plenty of hands-on instruction and support throughout the process.
Registration
The camp is designed as a two-day experience, as our instructors anticipate students will need both days to learn the necessary skills and complete their final projects. Registration therefore includes both September 4 and September 11.
Cost: $60 per student for both days, including food and project materials.
Register here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeCi8BQmJAXQxFBn3Xr56ZP0SsFG-KPUSwSo-5VWxDiHUEErA/viewform
Pay online here: https://pocatellocommunitycharter.givebacks.com/shop/items/bedf80d26042
Please note that the online payment system charges a processing fee. Families who prefer to avoid the online fee are welcome to pay in the PCCS office instead. Payment is expected no later than the beginning of the first camp day on September 4.
Space is limited, so please complete the registration form as soon as possible if your child would like to participate.
Interested in Just One Day?
Our preference is for students to attend both days so they have sufficient time to learn the skills and complete their projects. However, if space remains available, we will do our best to accommodate students who are only able to participate on September 4 or September 11.
If you are interested in a single day only, please contact the office rather than completing the two-day registration and payment.
We are excited to kick off our Friday Enrichment opportunities with this camp. Our teachers have put a lot of thought into creating a fun, hands-on experience, and we are looking forward to seeing what our students create!
BGCSEI will provide after-school programming Monday through Thursday for students in all grade levels. Students who are registered for the program will go directly to Boys & Girls Club programming at the end of the school day.
The cost of the program is:
$20 annual BGCSEI membership fee
$50 per month
The program will include a variety of activities such as arts and crafts, STEM, sports, seasonal activities, indoor games, and outdoor games. Parent pickup will be at 5:45 p.m., and the Club closes at 6:00 p.m.
Registration is now available through the BGCSEI parent portal:
Registration Link in comments (facebook) or bio (instagram)
Please remember that BGCSEI's program at PCCS will be Monday through Thursday only. BGCSEI is not yet providing Friday programming. In the meantime, we will continue developing separate optional Friday Enrichment opportunities, such as the Stitch & Create Day Camp and volleyball camps we've begun sharing with families.
We are very excited to have BGCSEI joining the PCCS community and to see this partnership officially get underway. We believe having affordable, high-quality after-school programming right here at PCCS will be a tremendous resource for our students and families.
