YouthTruth Survey

As of today, only 16% of our families have completed the YouthTruth Survey, an anonymous survey that gauges the culture of our school through the perception of a variety of stakeholders (staff, students, and families each take a unique survey). This survey produces some of the only quantitative data that we are able to use to see how we’re doing in a variety of topics. Please, click the link below and spend 15 minutes to complete the survey. Thank you!

Thank You for Your Generosity

With your generous donations, we were able to provide an amazing amount of winter clothes to be donated to the Bethlehem Inn as part of our PCMS Gives Back campaign. Thank you to all who donated. We will share information about our spring campaign when we have details.

Good Deeds to Help Support Sparrow Mariah

We are so glad to have this wonderful opportunity to help Mariah and her family during a very difficult time. Just a reminder, we encourage everyone to take part in supporting Mariah by learning more about her and committing to perform community service hours to raise money in partnership with many local sponsors. Below, you will find links that share Mariah’s story, a video from Sparrow Clubs USA with even more information on Mariah and how we can all serve others to ultimately serve Our Brave Warrior!

Yearbook Sales

Shannon Cramer, our Art teacher, is heading up this year’s yearbook and is working with a small group of students who will help design the book. We have placed our order with the yearbook publisher base on the number of YTD sales. Each year, students get their yearbooks the last day of school. Inevitably, our main office is flooded with calls on the last day asking if we have extras available for purchase because students see their friends’ yearbook and regret not purchasing one. You can continue to purchase books online via TouchBase until we are sold out. Know that the longer you wait, the better chance your student will not be guaranteed a keepsake from this year.
