Pennell Families,
PSSAs are over and we only have a few makeup exams to give this week. Thank you for all of your help with preparing our kiddos for the state test. They all worked so hard these past two weeks. I was very impressed with what I saw as I visited testing rooms and spoke with students in the afternoons. Thank you to the PTO for providing the Kona Truck for the PSSA pajama day celebration this past Friday. The students had a great day!
Our teachers and staff send tons of gratitude to all of our Pennell families. The love we all felt this past week for teacher/staff appreciation was priceless. Each day a new thoughtful surprise let our staff know just how much you all value them. It is one of the best weeks of the year. Thank you!
