💜 Today is the Purple Pinkie Project! 💜
Don’t forget to bring $1 to help end polio worldwide!

During both lunches, the SHHS Interact Club will be collecting donations for the Purple Pinkie Project in partnership with the Rotary Club of Sherwood for World Polio Day.

For every 60¢ donated, a child is immunized against polio. When you give $1 or more, we’ll paint your pinkie purple to show your support in the fight to end polio!

Let’s see how many purple pinkies we can get at SHHS! 💅

👨‍⚖️ Nearly 100 students from every PCSSD high school took an oath this morning to serve in Teen Court! 👩‍⚖️

⚖️ Teen Court empowers students to act as judges, jurors, and advocates, using restorative justice to help their peers learn from mistakes and make better choices.

🏫 PCSSD is proud to be the only district in Arkansas with a school-based Teen Court model, where students earn class credit while gaining real-world experience in justice and leadership.

📊 Studies show that teens who participate in Teen Court are less likely to reoffend compared to those in the traditional court system—proof that student leadership makes a difference! #PCSSDproud #TeenCourt #ServeAll
