PCHS Community,
While so much about this week in our great state of Michigan felt unsettling, we sincerely hope students felt as safe and supported as possible within our school walls. We will continue to do everything in our power to tend to our school environment in ways that ensure safety and that influence a culture where everyone is looking out for one another.
We are proud of our students for speaking up and for speaking out, as evidenced by the large number of students who joined in on the opportunity to co-sign a student-written communication to representatives in Congress expressing a desire to be a part of the solution to ending gun violence in schools. Pirates are inspiring and motivated, and it is a beautiful thing to support.
We've also seen this week how quickly social media behavior can have a widespread impact on the school climate. Thank you for your continued vigilance in supporting your child's responsible digital decision-making.
To our staff: Thank you. Classrooms truly are their own little micro-communities, developing one class period at a time. We are blessed to have teachers who embrace this responsibility and opportunity with care and empathy. Your commitment in the smooth times to the really challenging ones is a testament to your character and your passion for this field of education we all devote ourselves to.
Have a wonderful weekend,
Mrs. McBride & Mrs. Woods
