Treasure Chest Support
The PCR-3 Treasure Chest provides groceries to assist families who qualify for Free or Reduced Meal Plans. Qualifying families will receive a weekly form via email to sign up or call 816-858-7001 for assistance, so we can appropriately plan for resources.
Families will receive an email with approval to come to the Treasure Chest on Wednesdays from 4-6pm at the Treasure Chest site (south side of Paxton building).
The Treasure Chest is a stocked resource center providing food, milk, and toiletries for PCR-3 students and families in need. This resource center is an idea born from the collaboration of PCR-3's social workers, pupil services staff, and interested parent and community volunteers. This resource center opened in the summer of 2015.
The Treasure Chest resource center provides opportunities to various stakeholders. District Social Workers identified a greater need for resources designated for the whole family, beyond the child we see every day in school. The facility serves three inter-related purposes; a place for our community members to give and support our families in need, a place for PCR-3 families who are disadvantaged by their economic situations to get necessary items, and a place where volunteers can provide assistance in operating the center.
The center also serves as a worksite for special education students in a transitional program. These students practice various employability and life skills in the resource center, such as merchandising, daily living activities, sorting/arranging, visual and spatial math skills, and managing their environment.
