Park city is coming together on 11.11.11
On 11.11.11, our community will come together for Live PC Give PC: 24 hours of unprecedented nonprofit giving—and it’s your chance make a real difference, in our school community and 
Park City community as a whole.
Park City Day School is participating in this effort both as a nonprofit to which you can donate on this community-wide day of giving, and as supporters of the effort through our Service Learning program. PCDS 5th graders, with the guidance of their history teacher, have drafted a proclamation to be presented to the City Council in early November proposing to make 11.11.11 an official day of giving in Park City. They will attend the City Council meeting to help present the proclamation and determine the best ways to help promote LivePC/GivePC within our school and outside community leading up to 11.11.11.
Join us in supporting our community. On 11.11.11, if you haven't already made your Annual Fund gift, live PC and give PC by donating online at our PCDS LivePC/GivePC donation page.

PCDS Donates Uniforms
Children and families from Park City Day School contributed over 1300 uniform clothing items to schools for underprivileged children in Bolivia, Peru and other South American countries being financed through donations to the Park City 5. The uniform items were from Park City Day School’s predecessor schools, The Colby School and Park City Academy, which recently combined to form the Park City Day School. Park City 5 organizes groups of kids from Park City who donate time, labor and money to go to underprivileged areas to build schools in memory of five Park City youths who died in 2008. The first school they built was in 2009 in Ecuador. This July the group will be building a school in Bolivia.
