We wrapped up our final fire drills for the Fall, we will resume again in the Spring.

We also practiced our first lock down drill for the school year.

Mr. Coffin talked students through the drill with what to expect, and how long the drill would last.

We had a short Friday with our early dismissal for Staff Development with Colton-Pierrepont.

We hope you have a fabulous long weekend, we will welcome students back on Tuesday, October 10th.

Hi PHCS Families- we are still exploring options for Modified, JV and Varsity Basketball programs. Initial information listed Modified and Varsity Sign-Ups and we would like to clarify that we are interested to see which of our athletes are interested in any of the 3 levels of Basketball. We currently have interest in Modified and Varsity, but we would be happy to bring back our JV program too if there is enough student interest.

Please contact Mrs. Liz White, ewhite@phcsd.org if you are interested.

To complete their community service project, our modified soccer girls "teamed" up with the AMVETS Ladies Auxiliary to help setup, serve and clean up from their monthly spaghetti dinner. An incredible 320 dinners were served!!

Way to go, Girls!

Modified boys' soccer took their turn at community service last week by stacking wood for two different community members.

Way to make us proud, Panthers!

The varsity boys' soccer team was all smiles as they kicked off our community service season by stacking wood in Hopkinton.

Way to go, boys....you make us so proud!
