Since classes finished last June, our faculty, staff, and administrators have been hard at work on a number of program initiatives. More on those at the end of this message. But in addition to these innovations, we have another important goal this year: Extend love of learning into the parent community by delivering high-quality family education to support a healthy school culture. My team and I want to make sure that PBS parent education is a love-of-learning opportunity: a way to strengthen our spirit of community, appropriately customized to address the concerns and challenges we're seeing. We want to pilot new approaches so we can better serve your needs and ensure strong school-home partnership. To do that, we need your help and input.

As we enter November, I am excited to formally announce that we are bringing a visiting artist, Lexy Ho-Tai, to campus November 28-30 to work with our students in grades K–5. Each class will have an hour-long workshop with Lexy, during which they will explore the concepts of joy and playfulness through recycled materials.
