Highlights
Congratulations the Skaggs PTA for winning a Student Membership Award. We are so proud of them for engaging the greater community through PTA. We are also very grateful for their direct and indirect involvement in our daily functions.
History Fair
4th & 5th grade History Fair will be held on March 27th. Projects are due TOMORROW March 24th. This year’s theme is: Frontiers in History: People, Places, Ideas. Students who are interested in participating can get handbooks from their homeroom teacher.
PTA General Meeting is on Monday, March 27th at 4:00 PM. Everyone (parents and teachers) is invited! The success of your child's elementary school years has a lot to do with PTA. Your participation will make all the difference. As of now, we are needing a lot of volunteers to step up for next year's PTA board (see graphic below).
OPEN HOUSE - Rescheduled for March 30th, 6:00-7:00pm.
We look forward to seeing you and the children! The students will be extra proud to present their work. It is okay for you to exaggerate your excitement to your children and their teachers because they have been working hard! We appreciate you giving your undivided attention to your students and reserving in-depth topics or questions for the teachers for conferences.

Youth Art Month
We love celebrating art at Skaggs and it makes us so happy that March is Youth Art Month (YAM)! YAM is a national and local celebration of art education and its impact on students. A limited number of students have art chosen for PISD's annual YAM gallery show. We are happy to share the two students who will be representing Skaggs this year: 5th grader Anna L. and 2nd grader Chris F. Their work will be on display at the brand new Robinson Fine Arts Center from now until March 28th. Please stop by any time between 8 AM – 5 PM to see all the amazing creations of PISD students!
