P2 Kindness Club

Our After School Enrichment Kindness Club recently took a heartwarming trip to Fort Hudson Nursing Home! Miss Dix and her amazing crew spread kindness and love, delivering a treasure trove of Valentine cards and crafts created by our talented students.

The students didn't just drop off goodies; they rolled up their sleeves and got crafty with the residents!


They shared stories, laughter, and lots of smiles while making Valentine’s Day crafts together. What a beautiful way to give back to our community!


A huge shoutout to our wonderful students for their compassion and creativity! Let's keep spreading the love!

OPM Mindset: Red Cross Blood Drive

This past week, our 12th graders explored the theme of love in a truly impactful way! They embraced the idea of unconditional love by participating in a blood drive for the Red Cross, showcasing their generous hearts.

Many of our P2 Seniors stepped up and donated, embodying that OPM (Other People Matter) mindset! Their contributions not only made a difference but also highlighted the power of community and compassion.


What a beautiful reminder that love can take many forms! Let's keep spreading that spirit! Special thanks to Mr. Prindle for organizing this annual event for our students and school community.


Here are some more pictures from the day.

Upcoming P2 Events

PARP Reading Buddies (March 5 - 28)

Last month, our P2 Student Advisory Committee teamed up with the P2 Planning Committee and guess what? They had some fantastic ideas to make our P2 program even better! 🎉

Many students expressed a desire to connect with our elementary friends, and we listened! So, we’re excited to announce the launch of P2 Reading Buddies for March! 📚💖

Here’s how it works: Elementary classrooms will pair up with Jr./Sr. classrooms to become reading buddies. This means students can either read to their older buddies or enjoy a delightful story read aloud. It’s a wonderful chance for everyone to share the joy of reading and strengthen our school community! Stay tuned for more updates and get ready to dive into the world of stories!
