It's the first day of school!! We hope your school day is off to a great start. Good luck to all of our students, especially those first-timers here in PCSSD. Let's make it a great day! #pcssdproud #equityandexcellence
‘Twas the night before school starts, when all through the building
The classrooms sat empty, waiting for children.
The teachers have been working, for weeks by now
To make sure students would enter with a “wow!”
Meanwhile, children were nestled all snug in their beds,
While visions of a new year danced in their heads.
Teachers were putting finishing touches on plans
To bring an amazing year to their student’s hands.
The morning would bring new adventures no doubt
Another school year is beginning with a lot to be excited about.
Happy first day of school, and to all a goodnight!

Summer is a great time to be outdoors. One way to have some outside fun is to arrange a scavenger hunt. Give clues and have kids hunt for indoor and outdoor objects.
