Hot Diggity Dog!
You won't want to miss our annual Hotdog Supper! Bring your lawn chairs and blankets and join our PCE families out on the front lawn for some good old fashioned fun. A big shout out to Sonic for donating the hot dogs and for cooking them. All proceeds from this event directly support our annual science camp. Our goal is for camp to be so affordable that every child can attend. Please include information about the hot dog supper in your grade level newsletters.
