PEP March 2026 Newsletter

The school year continues to move quickly, and we are grateful for the opportunity to continue supporting local schools, students, and educators!

Over the past month, PEP has continued providing resources to school Wellness Centers, classrooms, and school programs throughout our area. These resources help support students’ social-emotional growth, encourage positive behavior, and support academic success.

Wellness Centers Continue to Support Students
Wellness Centers continue to be an important support system for many schools. Students use these spaces to regulate emotions, take a short brain break, talk with a trusted adult, or reset so they can return to class ready to learn. Many of the items used in these rooms, such as sensory tools, art supplies, and incentives, need to be replenished regularly, and PEP is grateful to be able to help schools keep these rooms stocked and functional.

We are continually encouraged by the feedback we receive from schools. Staff often share that students appreciate having a safe and calm space on campus, and teachers appreciate having a place where students can reset and return to class ready to learn. These supports help both students and staff and contribute to a positive school environment.

Impact This School Year
Since the start of the 2025–2026 school year, PEP has connected with over 25 schools and provided thousands of dollars in resources to 20 campuses, helping hundreds of students access the support they need.

Bridging Schools and Community
PEP’s mission is to bridge schools and communities, and we continue to see how much our community cares about local schools and students. Donations, partnerships, and encouragement from community members and local businesses allow us to continue supporting schools in meaningful ways.

If you would like to partner with PEP to support local students and educators, we would love to connect with you. Your support helps provide resources that directly impact students and classrooms.

Thank you for supporting local schools, students, and educators.
