Mrs. Nod brings the spirit -- and the popcorn -- to PC Elementary, today!
🎃 #HappyHalloween
As a former science teacher, you just knew that Superintendent Jolliffe was going to be a big fan of Sam's costume!

Careers:
Mrs. Fergusons students have been discussing proper attire for interviews. Today they all had to demonstrate how to tie a tie. #collegeandcareerreadiness
Mrs. Cunningham’s students had a little spooky reading in science class — thanks to some plastic fingers and skeletons to help with tracking.
🎃 #HappyHalloween
…because it wouldn’t be Halloween without spooky music and trick-or-treating between periods outside Mrs. Bishop’s classroom.

Students in Grades 3–6 had the opportunity to meet Miss Nebraska, Makinzie Gregory, and hear her inspiring message about setting goals and chasing your dreams! She shared the importance of being a mentor — and finding someone who can help keep you on the right path.
Many thanks to Adair Reese, our TeamMates Coordinator, for arranging this meaningful experience and reminding our students of the power of mentoring!
