Marty's Minute

Wow, it's already December. I hope you all had a relaxing and restorative Thanksgiving break.


As we travel through these last few weeks of 2022, I hope you can embrace the season, finish the year strong and begin to look forward to a new year ahead.

Festival of Tress 2022

Check out these beautiful trees created by Mr. Shideler's woodshop class! Their incredible trees and package sponsored by Erika Ralston Word / Windermere Real Estate sold for $2,200 at OMC's Festival of Trees Celebration.

This was a great collaborative community service project for students!

The wood was donated by Port Angeles Hardwood, the stain was donated by Angeles Millwork & Hartnagel Building Supply, and the design and craftsmanship were done by PAHS Woodshop Students!

Thank you to Mr. Shideler for his dedication to teaching the skill of fine woodworking and the importance of giving back to the community!

PASD's Cabinet Members Visit Dry Creek

Here is a peek into a school day at Dry Creek Elementary! PASD's admin members had a chance to hang out at Dry Creek recently and were amazed by all the fun and learning taking place!


Students worked hard in classrooms, had some serious fun at recess, and above all, were kind to one another.
