HAPPY VALENTINE’S WEEK!

On behalf of the Faculty, Staff, School Board and our families, we wish to express our deep and sincere appreciation to Greg Curtain for his excellent presentations on Internet safety. Greg directed two sessions: One was held on Monday, February 5th from 1:30 – 3:00. This session had fifty to sixty parents in attendance. The second session was held that following Thursday evening from 7:30 – 9:15. It was again an outstanding session (though fewer people attended). Greg has offered to come back and do a session for our eighth graders prior to graduation, and we have accepted his offer. Thank you, Greg!

Parents, as you can see, we are doing our very best to impart correct information to our students so throughout life they have the tools to make good decisions and stand on their own two feet.

Drug education has been covered and Internet safety is in process. Our next program began this week for grades six through eight: Human Sexuality, directed by Lisa McAndrews and Nurse Anderson. This is our third year working with Mrs. McAndrews and we are so thankful to her for the superb, value-oriented program she brings to the children. We will e-mail the schedule for each grade level in a few days.

The celebration of past PWC Presidents, held at the Bel Air Bay Club on Saturday February tenth, was a grand affair. A million thanks to Kelley Workman and her splendid committee for a fun-filled and most enjoyable event.

We would like to give special gratitude and deep appreciation to Dr. Philomena McAndrews for sharing her time, medical expertise and very helpful information. Thank you, Philomena!

It is very impressive to see the number of families who participated in the HOME MAGAZINE FAMILY ACTIVITY. The projects were turned in on February fourteenth. After the religion teachers have reviewed them, the projects will be on display throughout the school. Thank you parents for walking the Journey of Faith with your children
