We all want to be advocates for our kids! As parents, we want our children to know that we love them and value their academic, personal and overall development. Research tells us there are tremendous benefits to being involved in your child’s school including, higher grades and test scores, better school attendance, improved social skills and higher self-esteem.
In 2005, Perry Central formed a chapter of the Optimist Club. This was a terrific organization that supported student activities to make a positive impact on Perry Central students. However dues had to be collected and fundraisers had to be conducted to have the required, high sum of money that had to be sent to Optimist International, just to keep the Optimist Club name. As years progressed, less and less of our funds were going to our students. We knew something had to change!
Thus the Captains Club was born! The Captains Club is a Perry Central organization composed of community members, parents and Perry Central employees. We do not charge dues and every cent raised through the Captains Club goes back to our students! Twice a year we reward elementary students for making grade improvements, recognize the top ten students in grades 7-12, host a Valentine's semi-formal for grades 6-8, and award scholarships to seniors.... just to name a few projects.
Our club’s goal is to recognize student achievement, inspire students to do their best, recognize hard work and be advocates for Perry Central students!
We would love for you to join us! Below is a link that will give you access to all of the current events that we facilitate.
