During this session, we will be sharing information for parents on recent research that sheds light on the harm that social media and time spent on personal devices can do to students and their health, well-being, and academic success. It’s a chance to become informed, ask questions, and connect with parents and educators. For more information, please contact your child's principal or Corey Harbaugh, Curriculum Director, at corey.harbaugh@ppps.org.

From Dropping Everything to Read on Monday afternoon to having our Mystery Reader Brynn Cummings revealed on Tuesday!

Mrs. Koehn's two ELA classes worked on the Tower of Books Challenge throughout January and February. Combined, the two classes read more than 350 books, articles and poems. The reading challenge encouraged them to not only try to read thirty or more books in that time, but to read a wide variety of genres including nonfiction, articles, poetry, book series, and picture books. Two students completed the entire challenge, Tim Reidenbach and Zander Ransom. Congratulations to all the readers and especially those two who really pushed themselves to expand their reading horizons!


During our parent Teacher Conferences, 4th grade students had their love for science on display for all to see with the annual Science Fair. It's always fun to see all of the different topics that students choose to practice the scientific method!

Thursday was Where's Waldo Dress up day as part of our "I Spy" Reading Month events. Mrs. Hubbell was leading our morning announcements on Thursday morning. It's amazing to see where Waldo (A.K.A. Mr. Hiler) showed up!


Congratulations to our February Citizen of the Month honorees. These students were nominated for their excellence in the character trait of honesty in and out of the classroom!
