September is National Childhood Obesity Awareness Month. The CDC reports that nearly 1 in 5 U.S. children are obese. We recognize this month to bring awareness and provide some potential solutions to get kids eating healthy and physically active.
Just a reminder: PCSSD will be closed on Monday, September 6 in honor of Labor Day. Schools and district offices will reopen on Tuesday, September 7. Enjoy the extended weekend!

We are excited to start the 21-22 school year. Just a few reminders for tomorrow morning. Don’t forget to bring your completed summer packets tomorrow. Remember, the tardy bell rings at 7:45 am. All staff, students and visitors entering the building must wear a mask. See you in the morning!
‘Twas the night before school starts, when all through the building
The classrooms sat empty, waiting for children.
The teachers have been working, for weeks by now
To make sure students would enter with a “wow!”
Meanwhile, children were nestled all snug in their beds,
While visions of a new year danced in their heads.
Teachers were putting finishing touches on plans
To bring an amazing year to their student’s hands.
The morning would bring new adventures no doubt
Another school year is beginning with a lot to be excited about.
Happy first day of school, and to all a goodnight!
