Principal’s Hello

Dear Golden Eagle Families!

Happy Friday! One more week ’till winter break!

We had fun this week hosting our arts showcases: our fine and performing arts programs all displayed their hard work. These programs encompass all grades here at PCMS, and, upon promotion to high school, every student can say they had an arts education at PCMS. How cool is that?

As I mentioned at last night’s concert, there are so many benefits to an arts education, including cognitive and social-emotional benefits. Thank you to Ms. Cramer, Ms. Harms, and Mr. Roberts for all your hard work!

Have fun in the snow this weekend! Spirit Week next week!
