Yesterday I took a moment and paused to reflect on why we celebrate Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. It means different things to different people, but to me it is an opportunity to recognize Dr. King's legacy of service. This legacy is inspiring and many of the issues that Dr. King stood for during his lifetime are issues that we still struggle with in 2023. Dr. King's fight for justice continues still and we celebrate him to remind us that it is our turn to stand for equality and justice for all.

Invitation to serve on the PCS Health and Wellness Committee:

The PCS Health and Wellness Committee is a group of PCS parents/guardians, staff members and other stakeholders who meet every few months to discuss matters concerning the programs that PCS offers for our students and families that impact their wellness as part of our community. We are looking to reorganize this group for an upcoming meeting in early February and are reaching out to anyone who may be interested in participating. Your involvement would require two or three meetings after school this year that would last about an hour. If you are interested or just have questions about the committee, please contact Mr. Doyle. His email address is: kdoyle@premiercharterschool.org.
