We finished the first trimester and the holiday season is upon us. Thank you all for your support of the PALS program. Together as a community and with the help of our teachers we have created a special environment for learning. On behalf of the PALS board and myself, I wish you all a very enjoyable holiday. May you have your fill of food, sharing, football and shopping!
Sincerely,
Stacey Schweppe
PALS PTO President |

As a relatively new parent to the PALS community, I have been thoroughly
impressed with how much support there is in PALS, from the teachers,
the parents and even the students. My son, Kai, came to PALS at the
beginning of third grade and we instantly fell in love with the program
and Claudia. Without knowing what I was getting myself in to, I signed
up to work MAGIC our first year here. That proved to be one of the
best things I could have done as it introduced me to every child in
PALS and a large number of parents. We are now in our
second year in PALS and I am in my first year as a board member.
Although I am enjoying my time on the board, I miss not interacting as
much with the children and would love to get in the classroom more.
It seems our kids grow up really, really fast, and I am sure that
before I know it Kai will be out of PALS and moving in to his own home.
But before that happens, I hope to make the most of his elementary
school years and have a positive impact on as many families in PALS as
possible. |
