It's the most wonderful time of year!

Today was PCPS’ annual Kiddie Christmas event. Every year, employees from our Information Systems and Technology (IST) division raise money to provide gifts for students in need.

This year the IST team raised more than $8,000 from PCPS employees, business partners and donors. The money was used to buy toys, clothing, hams and new bicycles for the young children from Garner Academy's Head Start program. The kids were surprised with their gifts when they showed up to the Bartow Civic Center this morning.

Thank you to our sponsors: Ernie Morris Enterprises, Publix, and R.F. Lusa & Sons Sheet Metal. And thank you to all of the PCPS employees who make Christmas extra special for these kids.
