Right now, the demand on the Teacher’s Supply Closet is growing faster than our shelves can be stocked.

We saw a record setting 645 teacher visits last school year which is 42% more than the previous year.

As more PUSD teachers discover they no longer have to spend their own money on basic classroom supplies, visits to the Closet have increased. That’s exactly what we want.

Just when you start wondering how you're going to load 18 tables and 15 chairs into a U-Haul all by yourself, the Prescott High School Girls Volleyball team shows up on their way to practice.

Five minutes later... the truck is loaded.

Many hands make light work. Thank you, ladies, for jumping in without being asked twice. You saved the day, and proved teamwork doesn't stop when practice begins. 💙💛🏐

We urgently need volunteers to help out during Saturday’s July 4th Prescott Freedom Festival and Fireworks at Pioneer Park.

I know that many supporters already have 4th of July plans, but if you are in town and have a few hours to spare on Saturday, please consider signing up for a shift.

Remember, all funds raised at the event go straight to helping our PUSD students and teachers.

And best of all, all PUSDEF volunteers also receive reserved parking at Pioneer Park!

Imagine walking into a library that invites you to explore, create, and learn.

That's exactly what students will experience at Granite Mountain Upper Elementary School thanks to the recent library transformation funded in part by the PUSDEF School Enhancement Grant Program.

The updated space provides comfortable seating, collaborative learning areas, and an atmosphere that encourages students to pick up a book, ask questions, and discover something new.

Partnerships like this help ensure our schools remain places where students thrive.

The Annual Rising Stars Awards Banquet is always one of the most meaningful nights of the year. It is a simple reminder of why this PUSDEF program matters. When you take the time to recognize both the student and the educator, you see the real impact happening inside our schools.
