It’s National School Breakfast Week, and you don't have to try green eggs and ham like Mrs. Neal's class. 🍳 Breakfast is FREE for every single student in PCSSD starting this school year!

According to the School Nutrition Association, students who eat breakfast are more likely to:
📈 Reach higher achievement levels in reading and math
📝 Score higher on standardized tests
🎯 Have better concentration and memory
🏃‍♂️ Maintain a healthy weight and stay alert

We are proud to fuel our students' minds and bodies! Way to go, Mrs. Neal and Sherwood Elementary, for this fun memory. #PCSSDProud #ServeAll #NationalSchoolBreakfastWeek #ReadAcrossAmerica

Sylvan Hills Construction Education finished its latest project, hat racks. Each softball and baseball player at Sylvan Hills will receive one! Each student in the class had fun and learned a new skill. Everyone in the construction class is looking forward to the next project.

This project was made possible by Mischa, Blake, and Scott Martin, who have sponsored over half of the construction projects this year. #GoBears #PCSSDproud #ServeAll

GAMEDAY!

PCSSD is aware of the concerns being raised by Lifetouch. PCSSD had an agreement in place prior to all of this new information being released, and the process for providing all school photos had already begun. PCSSD is currently reviewing for potential changes with the agreement, and the district will be considering other options for the next school year.

🎨🎶 Wow — check out this creativity!

Our AP Art 2-D Design students took on an awesome project by creating a fictional band or artist, developing an original album title, selecting a music genre, and then photographing their own album cover design. 📸

The results? Bold, imaginative, and incredibly well-executed! 👏 Take a look at these amazing designs! 💙🐻
