Dear PWS Families, 

 

The weather has been excellent as the students and staff of PWS continue to work hard through the month of May. While we can tell that everyone is getting excited for summer vacation our students have been putting in great effort to continue learning. Our fourth grade students continue to prepare for many fun and exciting end of the year events. Battle of the Books, Lego Day, and Egg Day are all coming up over the next two weeks. We appreciate all the hard work that staff members are putting in to help our students get ready for these activities. Please take a moment to read our newsletter and see all that is going on around our school and the district.
