Hispanic Heritage Month Activities

We hope your children are enjoying the Hispanic cultural activities and lessons their specials teachers are teaching them. Please check our school Facebook page and the photo gallery (below in this email) for a sampling of what they are learning. We are excited to be able to delve deeper and give our students an opportunity to learn more about the Latino culture!

8th Graders Say Thank You
|
Thank you for your enthusiasm for the 8th Grade Farmstand. Because of you and your generosity, the Farmstand sold out of all produce by Wednesday afternoon! In addition, the 8th graders raised $583 for their Virginia Trip in the Spring--that's equivalent to paying for two full meals on the trip! Thanks again and stay tuned for more opportunities to help!

PBIS--Be Responsible in the Classroom
|
|
Be Responsible in the Classroom. Students are expected to show responsibility in the classroom, both with materials and their own behavior. Teachers work hard to help students learn, and students are expected to do their part to be responsible in the learning environment. When you have what you need and take care of your things, you show your teacher that you are ready to learn and you can focus on learning. By participating with your best effort, you show your teacher that you are doing your part to learn, and you make him/her proud because effort is what we value most at PCCS.

Are you curious about what makes a charter school different from a traditional public school? Do you have questions about PCCS, about funding, or the history of PCCS? Come to the PCCS Town Hall on Wednesday, October 4th from 7-8pm in the Gaylord Nelson Gym and learn more! RSVP to Lisa Profenna, PSO Vice President.

For our September "Volunteer Spotlight", we have chosen to highlight Amy Jamison and Erin Livingston, our Textile Drive leaders!
Amy has been very involved, including coordinating, for 6 years. We are incredibly grateful to have had her lead this team, and she will be missed as she "graduates" out of PCCS.
Erin stepped in as a co-leader with Amy, learning the ropes, and giving so much of her time to make this a success. Along with Jill Gawne, Ingrid Sootla, Kim Puccini, Virginie Bottero, Ellyn Edmonds, and Kelli Mehlman, we collected, sorted and sold thousands of your wonderful donations of textiles.
The Textile Drive takes multiple weeks of organizing bags and boxes full of donations, setting the sale up, advertising the sale, and then running the event. Amy and Erin, this event could not have happened without you. Our heartfelt thanks go out to both of you, and to all who donated their goods and their time!
