District PAC Cookout on Wed. July 29

Families across the School District of Lancaster are invited to learn more about the District Parent/Family Advisory Committee (District PAC) during a community cookout on Wednesday, July 29, from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. at Wickersham Elementary School, 401 N. Reservoir St.

If you’re new to the district or looking for more ways to get involved, the cookout is an opportunity to enjoy dinner, meet other families, and learn how District PAC helps strengthen the connection between families and schools.

District PAC provides a space for families to share feedback, build relationships, and partner with the district to support student success, aligning with the district’s commitment to meaningful family and community engagement.

Childcare, interpretation services, and activities for children will be available to help make the event welcoming and accessible for all families. Registration is encouraged but not required.

Parking is available behind Wickersham Elementary School. Please enter through the rear doors of the building.
