Come a little early, give the gift of blood, and then join us for the school board meeting afterwards.
Houses are competing against each other to read the most minutes. The house with the most minutes read wins a popcorn party! This long, cold weekend is the perfect time to snuggle up with a good book and rack up those minutes for your house! 💙💚🖤❤️
*To record your minutes read, simply report to your homeroom teacher how many minutes, a brief explanation of what you read, and which house you represent. You can also complete a short Book Review to display in the hallway by the READBowl bulletin board!
Due to school being cancelled tomorrow (1/23), we had to do some rearranging:
🧇 Honor Roll Breakfast has been moved to Friday, January 30th - we're hoping the third time's the charm! 🤞
🏀 The boys' basketball game vs. Rolling Acres is now on Wednesday, January 28th at 3:30 p.m. at HBD.
🥶 We hope our Raiders stay nice and warm this weekend! Enoy your long weekend 2.0!
Our talented WCTC culinary students are serving up a bold and flavorful menu featuring:
🥕 Carrot & Ginger Soup
🍗 Korean Fried Chicken
🥥 Coconut Lime Bars
Support our students, enjoy an incredible meal, and see future chefs in action!
We honor his legacy by reflecting on justice, equity, and the power of education to uplift every student in the PPS community.
