Announcing the week of March 16th and beginning on the first day of Spring, March 20th, students will be given wellness activities to participate in through May 1st.

A big thank you to substitute teacher and volunteer Julia Kelly for helping clean up and prepare our school greenhouse. Julia is a member of the WVU Extension Master Gardener Program and is excited to share her love of growing things with our school community.

Thank you both for your hard work and for helping make our campus an even more beautiful place to learn and grow! We look forward to sharing our students’ upcoming learning experiences from the greenhouse.

Their kindness helps make our school a place where everyone feels seen, supported, and valued.
Congratulations to our February honorees for showing what it means to lead with heart. Your compassion makes a difference every day!

This week is National School Social Work Week, where we honor school social workers for their role in helping students navigate social, emotional, and academic challenges. While the entire month of March is dedicated to social work as a profession, this specific week focuses on our school-based professionals, who alongside their teachers, counselors, community members and parents, are helping to shape our future. PCS is lucky to have these individuals working alongside our staff and with our students each and every day.
