When we all work together we can do incredible things! Join the effort to help our schools have resources for funding some of the great educational enrichment programs that the schools couldn't offer without our help!
The commitment is only one meeting per month and small projects in-between. Many projects can be completed in your home.
Join us anytime at our monthly board meetings. Our meetings are held on the 2nd Tuesday of each month in the Media Center at the Gordon W. Mitchell Middle School (unless otherwise noted) and begin @ 7:30 pm. If you want to be informed of upcoming meetings or volunteer opportunities, please call or send an email.
Please email us at EBPIE@comcast.net or call Brenda Mitchell - 378-9179
Purpose
EB PIE was formed in 1996 by a group of parents interested in ensuring continued availability of educational enrichment activities for their children.
We are a group of volunteers raising funds to help supplement the cost of educational programs and materials that enhance the classroom experience of all students.
Mission Statement:
EB PIE provides funding for enrichment programs that are both stimulating and educational, to supplement the education of all East Bridgewater students from pre-kindergarten through grade 12.
Volunteer Opportunities
EB PIE is open to all parents, guardians, students, teachers and community members of East Bridgewater.
Volunteers are always needed to assist with informational and fundraising events.
EB PIE meets once a month in the evening hours. The meetings involve discussions and plans for fundraising efforts, attending to last minute details of planned events and decisions regarding disbursement of funding.
EB PIE always welcomes new members so that we can maintain commitment and enthusiasm in our organization. We need people who are willing to help our organization grow. You might be surprised by the small number of individuals that keep this organization afloat. If you would like more information about our organization or would like to join us in the summer to plan our fall activities, please contact a member or come to a meeting!
