Message from Principal
Dear PCLS Families,
As we welcome the Year of the Horse, I want to wish our entire school community a very Happy Lunar New Year!
While our recent winter snow storms necessitated a change in plans, our spirit of celebration remains high. Because of those storms, we have postponed our official festivities, and we are now very much looking forward to our Lunar New Year celebration on March 8th.
This season is a beautiful time to reflect on family, gratitude, and renewal. May this new year bring your home an abundance of health, happiness, and prosperity. We look forward to seeing everyone come together in March to celebrate our vibrant traditions.
As we prepare for these celebrations and spend more time together in the building, I must also share an important reminder about how we care for our school home.
Lately, we have noticed students playing in the bathrooms; last Sunday, a urinal filter from in the Shepard’s Common men’s room was found removed and thrown on the floor. While we want our students to have fun at PCLS, the bathrooms are not play areas. Please remind your children to treat our school property with respect so we can maintain a clean environment for everyone.
