#28 - MARCH 14, 2025
Dear PS Families,
Today’s House Families went very well as we focused on learning and reinforcing the value of RESPECT. It was a wonderful opportunity for students to engage and reflect on how we can show respect to others in our community.
We’re also excited to celebrate two special days next week: Neurodiversity Day and Down Syndrome Day. These are important opportunities to raise awareness and honor diversity.
Have a great week!
Paula
