HAPPY 199th BIRTHDAY
On Friday, April 12th, we celebrated PSD's 199th birthday with a school-wide assembly. The official date is April 20, 2019, during Spring break. Student teams (blue and gold) from elementary, middle and high school all participated in a trivia contest challenging their knowledge about PSD historical facts. The gold team had the most points! Kathylean and Manar performed the Panther song and Peter led the audience in a roaring chant of I CAN, YOU CAN, WE CAN, PSD CAN!
There was a sweet finale with cupcakes for all.
