Elementary School Newsletter 5.15.2023
We had another great week at PCS. Thank you to all of the families that contributed last week for Teacher Appreciation Week. We definitely felt the love and support!
Last week's Field Day was a blast! The kids had a great time, but I think the adults had just as much fun. This week we have the 5th graders heading to a field trip to the courthouse. All of our grade levels will be doing celebration field trips to the park over the last few remaining days of school. This is the last full week of school and it is going to be a great one!
Report cards will be coming home in backpacks next week on the last day of school.
Summer Camp Opportunities:
Sherwood Forest Camp:
Sherwood Forest is still accepting youth in 1st-6th grade to participate in a low-cost residential summer camp program. Sherwood Forest's residential program consists of traditional camp activities like canoeing and tie dye, as well as reading, ecology, and social and emotional learning. Program length ranges from 7 to 28 days, depending on camper's age. For more information or to register for camp, reach out to the Camp Director at alexisn@sherwoodforeststl.org or visit https://www.sherwoodforeststl.org/register/.
Building Futures Camp:
At Building Futures Camp, our young builders can make their own animal- inspired furniture, lawn games, garden art, and other fun projects! Campers will learn skills and work on finishing techniques to create projects. Our young entrepreneurs (14 years and older) can earn $15/hour and participate in a small business experience by marketing and selling their pieces at the Tower Grove Farmers Market at our July & August Market Days!
