The decision was a unanimous one as we are still in the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic. Although more than 28% of the population in New Jersey are fully vaccinated, it\u2019s still insufficient to build a herd immunity and not safe for us to gather together.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The good news is \u2013 all students will receive their coupon exchange gifts around the third weekend of June.\u00a0PCLS\u00a0admin team is working very hard to gather all the prizes, print the award certificates, and order trophies for our students. Our kids have worked so hard this year during this difficult time. They deserve a big bag of gifts from us for their hard work! So, parents, be prepared to select a pick-up location (e.g., North\/East\/South Brunswick, Plainsboro\/Princeton, West Windsor, and Montgomery\/Skillman\/ Hillsborough, PA).
