Here are the thankful hands that the students created after our November School Wide Paideia Seminar which emphasized the values of kindness, strength, acceptance, and compassion. The hands are “thankful for your kindness” hands and the students wrote out people who they are thankful for.
12/16 is the last school day of the semester and is a half day for students. PNA is open for before care but not after care. We will see everyone again on January 9th!

Thank you for once again helping us appreciate our teachers by stocking the lounge! It’s always a staff favorite.
Thank you to all the families and friends that came out to our Thanksgiving Lunch last Thursday for Kindergarten, 2nd and 4th grades!
Thank you to everyone who helped make last week’s book fair such a success. Our volunteers worked hard to help with set up, shop assistance and pack up. We raised over $3,000 for our school library and spread lots of joy, smiles and memories to our Panthers!
We are continuing our second school-wide seminar this week. All students will participate in a seminar using the fable The Lion and the Mouse by Jerry Pinkney between November 14-22. During this seminar, students will discuss the ideas and values of kindness, strength, acceptance, and compassion. Our post-seminar activity will ask students to write and illustrate a card thanking someone for his/her kindness. Ask your child about this exciting and engaging learning experience.
