PCHS Senior Update
What we know as of today, April 10, 2020
From Ms. Smith
First of all, I miss you. I am so terribly sorry that this has happened during such an exciting time in your lives. I am so proud of you and we will get through this! We will emerge stronger and one day you will have such great stories to tell your children and your grandchildren about when you were quarantined as a senior! Take this as an opportunity to make a positive impact! Start something you have always wanted to try but have never had the time. Start a blog, exercise, do something good for someone in need. There are a lot of people that are hurting right now and you could really make a difference. Dr. Martin and Mrs. Costello have made a commitment to have a graduation ceremony for you if at all possible! If at all possible, we will make this happen. We have to just be patient and follow the rules. Stay safe and stay healthy. Spend more time with your family. Take care of your mental health and seek professional help if you need it. If I can help you, please let me know. As always, I am here for you.
