What does it mean to "Build Together?" Just ask anyone @pphsrobotics and they'll tell you how they treat each other like family, how they spend hundreds of hours working side by side - creating, preparing, testing and perfecting their designs to compete at the highest level.

One 2nd grade class had the opportunity to decorate their classroom and make it their own.

Sheriff Abbott along with other Officers, joined the Early Elementary recess on Wednesday! This is an activity put together by our very own, Mrs. Doyle. They were invited to all recesses for a Police Can Play, play day.

Today, Mr. Earl Holbrook joined our school today as a WatchDOG. Mr. Holbrook enjoyed his time with his daughter's class and had fun during recess. Our WatchDOG's daughter is in Mrs. Thorpe's 2nd grade class and it is an extra special day for her because...it's her BIRTHDAY! And, fun fact, Mr. Holbrook was one of our original WatchDOGS when the program first came to the Early Elementary. Thank you for spending the day with the students today!

Both Mrs. Albertson's and Ms. Sherwood's class celebrated the end of reading month with a Teddy Bear Picnic/Pajama Day! The classes incorporated the bear theme into reading month by taking the bears on a Reading Road Trip and read many bear stories, as well as other books! The children enjoyed lots of fun activities on Bear day by integrating all subjects into their learning, which included math, SEL, writing, science, and reading.
