School Events

The PTC will host a Family Dinner Night periodically throughout the school year. Restaurant names will be announced prior to the event. Attending these events is a great way to meet and socialize with other Weekday Program families and raise money for the Weekday Program.

Teacher Luncheons

We all depend on the Weekday Program Staff to protect and guide our children along the right path. As such, we support the individuals who make this happen each and every day. The PTC holds periodic Teachers' Luncheons in order to help acknowledge our Teachers' commitment and contributions to our children's lives.

If you have questions or would like to know more about how you can contribute, please contact the assigned room parent for your child's class or Traci Brandon - Room Parent Coordinator, at and Alisha Stump - Teacher Luncheon Coordinator at

On-line Silent Auction- benefiting Weekday Program Scholarship fund

Every year the Parent Teacher Connection of the Weekday Program work tirelessly for months soliciting auction items from the local community in order to raise funds for the Weekday Program Scholarship fund.

Last year they were able to raise over $6,500 and help numerous families. God wants all his children to have the ability to be a part of the dynamic pre-school here at First United Methodist Church.

This year the on-line auction is bigger and more fabulous than ever. Veronique Poncet is the coordinator and has done a wonderful job.

The auction will being at the end of November. If you win you can pickup items at Spaghetti with Santa on December 9th or at the Weekday Program office the following week. Check back for specific dates and the auction website.

The auction is private, only those who have the link can participate. No password, needed you just click on the left upper hand corner tab that says "Sign Up Here to bid on these items". Then you can bid. All payments should just go into the FUMC Paypal account.

We are excited to open the auction up to our church family this year and know you will be excited to give back to the mission of helping others through the Weekday Program Scholarship fund.
