The elementary leadership team is excited to announce their "Week of Outreach!"
Each day next week, students will have the opportunity to bring in various food/cleaning/hygiene items for the SENCA food pantry. The items will be collected, counted and recorded. The class with the most donated items at the end of the week will win an ice cream and movie party! Monday's theme is "Morning Monday!" Some donation ideas would be cereal, Pop-Tarts or pancake mix.
Ms. Lauren created an interactive bulletin board to help track progress!

Today in careers class with the third grade, we stepped into the shoes of engineers!
Students worked together to plan, design and build the tallest tower possible using limited materials. There were some challenges and a few failures along the way, but that's okay - we learned from our mistakes! Teamwork, communication and problem-solving helped us grow as future engineers. It was a fun and creative way to explore the world of engineering.!
Mrs. Lori Gyhra's Intro to Business kids have been working on balancing checkbooks and writing their signature. They are doing a great job!
Enjoying some well earned treats at the Little Brown Jug to celebrate our 7th grade class's achievement! For the second week in a row, no one from the 7th grade is on the eligibility list! Hard work pays off and we're all proud of your effort! Keep up the great work, let's make it three weeks in a row!
Come support PC students as they host our home speech meet this Sat, Feb 22!
