PSD loves to feed students! Check out the image below with the dates, times, and locations of our summer feeding program. Open to children ages 1-18 years.

Field day is tomorrow! Make sure if your child is eligible, that you send them with the appropriate things! Sunscreen is highly recommended; musts are a change of clothes (including undergarments), towel, and a plastic bag to put wet clothes in. School dress code still applies, and please make sure your child does NOT wear a white t-shirt or a swimsuit. We're in the final countdown! Here's to a fantastic field day!

Awards for 4th nine weeks AND end of year will both be given at these assemblies. We hope to see you!
