Principal's Message...
This week, PDES held our community book club kick-off assembly. Our school community gathered in the gym to see the big reveal and received a special, personalized message from one of the authors of our common book, Bob, by Wendy Mass and Rebecca Stead.
It has been such an impactful experience, watching our community come together to share a common narrative. Everyone was speaking the same language, and enjoying the experience together, as they discussed their thinking and perspectives about the plot. We were ALL on the same page!
It made me think of the power of being on the same page. As our community grounds itself in our mission, vision and core values, we will begin to create a common narrative, as a community. We too, will speak the same language, as we navigate our way to achieving our shared vision and enjoy the experience together.
Wishing everyone a great week,
~Mrs. KomocarPTO- News & Updates...
