Principal’s Hello<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Dear Golden Eagle Families, <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After lunch supervision today, Assistant Principal Schmidt said to me, “I love how much our kids enjoy playing outside.” It’s true: our students enjoy being active and healthy. You’re a big part of that. Thank you for teaching them the value of movement, outdoor life, and community. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As I live my life here in Bend, I often see students enjoying their lives outside. I see them riding bikes, playing in the park, and practicing on the soccer fields. One of the joys of working at PCMS is seeing how much our students and staff celebrate this engagement with life. Our students learn to treat others with kindness, to express themselves through art, and to appreciate other cultures. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On any given week, I walk around and experience peer mentors, plant-growing experiments, chamber music, French cheese tasting, 3-D printing–the list goes on. What a joy it is to work in a place like PCMS. And what a joy it is to share a life in a place like Bend with all of you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Enjoy the time with family this beautiful weekend. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
