Good Evening Pershing Families,

Red Ribbon Week

This week is Pershing's Red Ribbon Week, a week focused on "Making Good Decisions" to show respect for ourselves and for others. Typically we focus the month on both bullying prevention and on healthy choices. See the Red Ribbon Week spirit themed dress-up ideas below for this week! We hope each class will participate and share during their live synchronous time together!

Yearbook and Pictures

Guardians can upload pictures using the form linked below to send in a picture of their child based on the themes provided in the form. These pictures will be for our themed school-wide pages. Each classroom also shares pictures with the classroom teacher for their specific grade level page. We greatly appreciate your help in making this year's yearbook memorable and inclusive for all! Yearbooks are on sale for $20 each (online only) this year, with prices increasing on January 1st to $25 each. See below for more information.
