Looking for a way to get involved and make a difference? Check out the Kyrene Resource Center's upcoming projects and opportunities.
FRC TOUR – Friday, February 3rd, 9:45 am
Anyone is welcome to come over and find out all about KFRC. This is a great awareness opportunity for our Kyrene Community! Find out what we do here, who we serve and why we do it. Most of our donors and volunteers become involved with the Foundation or make donations to the Resource Center after touring the center.
SUMMER ACTIVITY PACKS – we need to create 900 kits to be sent home!
Summer Activity Kits are distributed to all of our homeless and at risk students who fall far below grade level. Activity Kits are grade specific and include academic materials created by teachers and specialists in Kyrene. The Kits are designed to keep kids engaged in learning over the summer break.
What we know and understand is not all of our students will be given learning opportunities over the summer break, in fact many of them will be unsupervised at home for most of the summer. Summer Activity Kits is one way we can keep those students engaged in the learning process and offer summer fun like jump ropes! Kits are distributed to students on the last day of school.
We will begin collecting items for Summer Activity Kits in February!

WISHES COME TRUE!
In Kyrene, we want all our students wishes to come true! Graduation and promotion dances are a big rite of passage for our students. For many of our families buying a semi-formal dress that will be worn once or twice...is not an option. For that reason we hold our Wishes Come True event where school administrators and teachers can refer a student in need to come and 'shop' for a dress, accessories, purse, shoes and more for the big day!
Collection of dresses and accessories will begin on Monday, March 19 when we return from Spring Break and will continue through the month of April. Donations of gently used dresses for 8th grade promotion ceremonies are needed, donations of jewelry, and new make-up items, gift sets, hair supplies, etc. are also accepted. Please remember dresses need to meet school dress codes.
Donations can be brought to our Kyrene Family Resource Center.
The Wishes Come True event will be held on Thursday, May 3rd from 4-7 pm at the District Office, volunteers are needed.
FRC Volunteer Day – Friday, May 25th 8am-noon
This is a great volunteer day! Although volunteers are needed weekly at the Resource Center, at the end of May we hold a large volunteer day to help close the Resource Center for the Summer months. Kyrene Schools are closed this day but we are OPEN for volunteers. There is lots of work and heavy-lifting involved on this particular day, so all volunteers need to be ages 12+. Any middle-school/high school volunteers must have a parent present to volunteer on this day. RSVP’s for this project should be sent to kfvolunteer@cox.net.
Any RSVPs or questions about connecting and volunteering with KFRC can be sent to kfvolunteer@cox.net
