This 120 Day of School project at Country Elementary brought back so many childhood memories with these plastic army men. I was soooo tempted to start playing "War" right there in the kindergarten pod. - Supt. Rick Todd #oldschooltoysrule
Love seeing the excitement and energy in our schools during March is Reading month. Today, I got to judge so many decorated doors at Navigator, so tough to pick a winner! - Supt. Rick Todd
Dr. Jim Darga (Director of Cyber Security Institute) is doing great things for our district, county and state as he builds partnerships with businesses and schools. Earlier this week, Dr. Darga shared our new partnership with Anchor Bay School district at the Cybersecurity: Defense Sector Summit in which PCS will be providing cyber-security classes virtually with high school teacher, Rich Lamb (on stage) facilitating the learning. Although we are excited about this, we are even more excited for what is to come....
When it comes to funding education, many ask the question "Why do schools need more money, they are already getting all the Lottery money?" Looking at the graph, one will see the Lottery money only accounts for 7% of the SAF (School Aid Fund). Coincidentally, the other pie chart shows that 7% of the SAF goes to funding community colleges and universities, which are able to raise tuition to cover costs, unlike public schools. So it actually seems that the 7% Lottery money really goes to supporting higher education and not K-12 as advertised.
Congrats to Noelle Adriens for signing with MSU as she will be a great asset to their track program, in addition to being a great scholar.

The second LAN party fundraiser of the year is another huge success! Super Smash Ultimate, Fortnite, League of Legends, Overwatch, and other games are being played throughout the high school media. BIG thanks to Jet's Pizza, Pinckney Bakery, and Busch's for the food donations.
Thanks so much for our community partner and supporter, Denise Johnson for leading our football team through an intense Yoga session. No doubt that their appreciation and respect for yoga has increased! Go Pirates!!
