Good Morning PCPS Families,
🎉 Shoutout to our Primary Cross Country Team who competed at the track meet last week. All students gave it their all and a big thank you to Ms McLaren for her coaching and commitment to the team. We had 2 students finish in 9th and 10th place! Congratulations to all who participated!
Last week, we recognized National Truth and Reconciliation Day with many classes learning about the calls to action in our junior and intermediate grades, and our Fire Prevention Officer came and presented to our grade 7 and 8 students.
We successfully completed our 3 fire drills, and 1 lock down drill for the fall season.
