It's been a good to start to the school year so far. However, we're experiencing a loss felt in the Robinson feeder and across PCSSD. Officer Victor Montgomery was fatally injured on Monday morning during traffic duty. We miss you! https://trst.in/Po0AW4 #pcssdproud #serveall

'Twas the night before school starts,
And you could feel it in the air.
The creatures were stirring:
Hornets, Comets. Senators, and Bears!
The Hornets were buzzing
With excitement for the year,
As Maumelle got ready
To hoot, holler, and cheer!
The Comets are zooming,
Moving at lightning speed
For a great, new school year,
Guaranteed!
The Senators are ready
To make their mark.
Leading in the community
From the school to the park.
And the Bears are waking
From summer hibernation,
To take on the school year
Ready and unshaken.
So go to bed
And get some rest
As we begin tomorrow anew
To make this school year the best!
