Scholastic Summer Reading Program Deadline Approaching
Friday, September 8th is the final day of the Scholastic Summer Reading Challenge.
All minutes must be logged online to count; Mrs. Brennan cannot accept reading logs or loose sheets.
When we return to school in August, I will be revisiting goals and encouraging students to finish strong.
Here are individual goals based on rising grade level:
Rising 1st- 1,125 minutes
Rising 2nd -1,500 minutes
Rising 3rd -1,875 minutes
Rising 4th & 5th -2,250 minutes
If students reach their individual goal, they will have their name placed on a "Reading Wall of Fame" and they will be invited to an ice cream dance party later in September.

Alumni Corner
Alumni sighting! Reed Pake, Class of 2015, returned to PLP to pay a visit to Mr. Walker and other former teachers. Reed is currently studying Visual Media Arts with a minor in Entrepreneurship at Emerson College in Boston. He just completed a summer internship with Ghost Story Games, and said he was so excited for the opportunity that, "I cried when I got in, and I cried when I left," adding that he forgot his name when being introduced to the CEO.
We love it when our graduates come back to visit!
PLP Alum (current 8th Grader), Lauren Little, recently competed on the national gymnastics stage, taking
16th in the Junior competition overall at the National Gymnastics Championship in Anaheim, California. Lauren receives her schooling online to accommodate her 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. training schedule, but siblings, Justin and Maya still attend PLP. AWESOME, Lauren!!
Spotted in Charlotte, Class of 2016's Luke Chelcun, at his last gig with his brother, Dane, and band, 4 Years Apart. Luke is leaving in a few weeks to join the U.S. Army as a Combat Medic, Airborne. Luke, PLP thanks you for committing to serve!
