Dear PWS Families,
Calling all volunteers! If you volunteered once or everyday this year we want to invite you to the PWS Volunteer Appreciation Breakfast which will be held on Wednesday May 24th at 9am in the cafeteria. We would love to see you there!
PWS Happenings
We have had an exciting week and thought that we would share some pictures to help convey all that took place. First, Mrs. Daley got her annual Slime Shower after the fourth grade chorus and string club performance. Special Congratulations go to Mrs. Curran and the fourth grade chorus for their two excellent performances this week. And job well done by Nitya Gottemukkala who won the opportunity to dump all that slime on Mrs. Daley.
Who wants to go on a shape hunt? Mrs. Thompson’s first graders did just that today! They took the iPads through the hallways and outside to see what shapes they could find in their everyday world.
Destination Imagination - PWS heads to Global Finals
Good Luck to the teams heading to Global Finals in Knoxville, TN next week. PWS is so proud to be represented by The Mind Blowers - Maulik Dhakal, Anica Ahdi, Rhea Dogra, ,
Haley Hall, Aaria Ahdi, Carter Crowley, and a huge thank you to their team manager, Malini Ahdi who has volunteered her time to mentor and facilitate these kids since last September. We wish them well in Knoxville.
A Note from Mrs. Ewing
At this time of year, the students may spend a little more time outdoors. It would be a good idea for parents to apply sunscreen and/or bug repellent before the students arrive each day. We are not able to reapply during the school day.
Summer Skills
Many parents are looking for ways to keep their child's academic skills sharp over the summer. If you would like to do this, we recommend using the Summer Skills Sharpeners Book from Tri-C Publication. You should order your child's current grade level if you choose to order.

From Our Nurse Mrs. Ewing
It is that time of year again, where the children are outside enjoying themselves. It is also that time where ticks reappear. It is recommended that all parents do daily tick checks to prevent any of these fun friends from coming into the school.
