After School Enrichment Starts This Week! - We have a variety of After-School Enrichment classes starting next week, including chess, dance, Lego, etc. Please note that the Bollywood Dance Class has been postponed for 3 weeks. We appreciate you helping to get the word out to our families, as these are great opportunities for our students! Also, please be sure you are aware of the schedule and who in your classes may be participating.
Looking for Class Talent - The PFC is looking forward to hosting our Talent Show again January 24th! Signing up and doing a solo act can be daunting. We we want to encourage as many group acts as possible. Our coordinator, Sierra Kulak, is hoping with more time teachers may be able to use PE time or music class time to put together an act representing a grade or class - consider connecting it to a theme in your curriculum. And of course, we encourage more staff members to perform this year as a treat for our students and families.
