It's Teacher Appreciation Week, and our PWCS educators have gone above and beyond during these extraordinary times, connecting with our students and ensuring learning opportunities continue.
While there aren't enough words to thank our teachers for all they do, our PWCS community shared a few words of gratitude.

May 1-7 is National Physical Education and Sport Week, which is a great time to renew your commitment to making regular physical activity a part of your life and for spotlighting physical education programs in PWCS.
During our continuity of learning, PWCS students have been sharing the fun and healthy ways they are using the lifetime skills they've learned in physical education (PE). Several PE teachers recruited their children to demonstrate ways to exercise and get fit. Yoga with pets, 5Ks in their neighborhoods, games learned in PE, and nature walks are just a few of the ways our students and staff are staying active and engaged.
