Good Morning PCS Panthers…
TODAY is Tuesday, October 17th, 2023. It is a “ D “ Day
ATTENTION SENIORS: If any of you plan on using the school's photos for your FORMAL or even your CASUALS, please send Mrs. Welty an individual chat telling her which of the Poses you want (A, B, C, or D) and whether it was the ORIGINAL photography date or the RETAKE day. If you don't designate, she will just choose one for you. ALL SENIOR PHOTOS ARE DUE BY FRIDAY, 10/20. That is THIS Friday!!
Thursday night’s home volleyball game is also Senior Night. It has been designated as a WHITE-OUT. It would be great if the student body supported the program and showed some school spirit!
Since October is Breast Cancer Awareness month, this Friday we encourage faculty and the student body to wear pink. The pink-out will carry over to the Friday night Football game where the Panthers take on Salamanca for Senior Night.
