MIDDLE SCHOOL NIGHT SPIRITWEAR SALES
Graduation may be years away for our rising 5th graders, but you can cue the “Pomp & Circumstance” as they graduate to a new color scheme next year! PFI wants to help you preorder your blue spirit wear on TONIGHT, February 17th starting at 5:30pm before the parent meeting (in front of the middle school), or immediately after.
We will have different sizes available for you to look at before you place your order. If you prefer to order online, remember ordering ends February 28th, and won’t be available again until this summer.
SUPPORT ATHLETICS
One of the ways PFI strives to support Socrates Athletics is by contributing to Athletics. Coach Pearl is establishing a wish list on Amazon with items such as new soccer goals for the campus. Our hope is that families can donate a small amount toward the acquisition of these items. The true reward will be our students’ increased opportunities to grow in wellness within this school community, but, as an added bonus, each $10 you contribute will count toward 2 volunteer hours.
Let’s build an Amazon fund to support our students all season long so Coach Pearl can focus on bringing the fun to the fields…a WIN, WIN (regardless of the score!!).

You can donate an Amazon gift card to Athletics by emailng to MPearl@socratesacademy.us or drop off an Amazon gift card to the front desk with his name on it. We are campaigning for him and his department through Sunday, February 20th.
