PCC is Seeking Community Input for Change

PCC is Seeking Community Input on its Name Change Polk Community College is seeking community input on its impending name change. PCC is planning to change its name to reflect the addition of baccalaureate offerings. This new chapter at PCC began last June when the State Legislature passed a bill establishing the State College Pilot Project for nine community colleges, including PCC. An online survey of PCC’s various stakeholders is being conducted. To take the survey, go to the bottom of the PCC website at www.polk.edu and look for the “PCC Name-Change Survey.” You will be asked to indicate your top three choices from a list of ten potential new names. The survey takes only a few moments to complete. Input from PCC’s various stakeholders will assist the District Board of Trustees with their final decision. Take the survey today! Deadline is 2/13

What's in your Sandwich?

The upcoming Family Fit Fest has identified their purpose of helping community children and families make healthier lifestyle changes through attainable adjustments in every day life. Follow this link www.brown-bagging.com/sillyGame.php for a fun demo and activity to illustrate to own family about healthy eating choices. We are working toward getting multiple copies of this Silly Sandwich book as giveaways for our event next month. Although, I have to admit, that chocolate cake did look pretty good on my sandwich! My kids love peanut butter on white wheat (i have to trick them) with low sugar honey and bananas. It is good I promise!! Leave your comment and tell us what your families favorite healthy sandwich includes!
