Dear PCS Families,

This week kicks off Teacher Appreciation Week! We are inspired everyday by our teachers and feel so fortunate to have them as part of our PCS family! Our teachers work to create an amazing classroom environment for your children. They work tirelessly to create engaging and innovative lessons that will meet the needs of all of their students. Not only that, but they love and care for them each and every day! We would encourage you to talk with your kiddos about how awesome their teachers are and maybe this week have them say a big THANK YOU for all that their teachers do for them.

Calendar Reminder:

Thursday, May 11th - Early DIsmissal at 12:00 for our Field Day.
