We're excited to announce another fun Friday Enrichment opportunity this week! With fall in full swing, we're embracing the season with a special camp led by our very own Mrs. Swan, and we've added a movie to make the day even more fun!
It's Fall, Y'all! – Fall Adventures, Creating & a Movie!
Join Mrs. Swan for a day celebrating all things fall! Students will spend the day adventuring, foraging, crafting, and creating as they explore the season and find creative ways to preserve some of its best treasures.
From exploring the outdoors to turning seasonal discoveries into hands-on projects, this camp will be filled with opportunities for students to get creative, learn something new, and enjoy the beauty of fall.
A Special Trip to See Casper!
As an added treat, we'll be heading to the movies for a 12:30 p.m. showing of Casper!
After the movie, students will return to PCCS to finish their fall projects and enjoy the remainder of the afternoon before pickup at 3:30 p.m.
With outdoor adventures, creative projects, and a movie, this is shaping up to be a fantastic Friday!
As always, activities will be adapted to be appropriate for students of different ages, and all PCCS students in grades K–8 are welcome!
Camp Details
Date: Friday, October 23
Time: 7:45 a.m.–3:30 p.m.
Grades: K–8
Cost: $35 per student
The registration fee includes the day's activities and movie admission.
Families are also welcome to pay in the PCCS office to avoid the online card processing fee.
Since students will be spending some time outdoors, please make sure they come dressed appropriately for the weather and wear comfortable shoes suitable for exploring.
If your student plans to participate, please register as soon as possible so Mrs. Swan can plan for the appropriate number of students and materials.
*****No Friday Enrichment Next Week
Please note that there will be no Friday Enrichment Camp next Friday, October 30, due to parent-teacher conferences that week. We hope everyone enjoys the opportunity to connect with teachers, celebrate student progress, and discuss goals for the remainder of the year. We look forward to resuming our Friday Enrichment opportunities the following week!
We're looking forward to another wonderful Friday Enrichment Day! A big thank you to Mrs. Swan for sharing her creativity and love of the outdoors with our students.
It's fall, y'all! Let's get out and enjoy it!

Look at this beautiful crocheted blanket! Ms. Lucy's mother made it especially for Fall Festival. You can purchase raffle tickets for a chance to win it!
We're excited to announce that Stitch & Create is back for another Friday Enrichment Day!
Our first two sewing camps were such a hit that our instructors have decided to offer a third day on Friday, October 16! There were several projects they had planned and prepared that students didn't get a chance to complete, and the kids have been so enthusiastic about sewing that we decided to keep the fun going!
More Sewing, More Creating!
This time, students will have the opportunity to work on some exciting new projects, including:
Rice bags – A fun and practical sewing project.
Cornhole bags – Students will create their own set of bags for the popular lawn game.
Stuffies and accessories – Our younger students (4th grade and below) have been asking to create more felt accessories for their stuffed creations or even make another stuffed friend. We love their enthusiasm, so we're making room for more creativity!
As always, activities will be adapted to students' ages and abilities, and no previous sewing experience is necessary. Students who didn't attend the first two camps are welcome to join us!
Camp Details
Friday, October 16
7:45 a.m.–3:30 p.m.
Open to all students in grades K–8
Cost: $25 per student
Families are also welcome to pay in the PCCS office to avoid the online card processing fee.
Interested in Purchasing a Sewing Machine?
Our instructors also have some exciting news! They were able to purchase several sewing machines at excellent prices and anticipate having 6–8 machines available for families to purchase at the conclusion of this camp.
Rather than putting these machines into storage, they'd love to see them go home with students who are excited to continue sewing!
Details about pricing and how the machines will be offered for sale will be shared soon. Availability will be limited.
We're thrilled that our Friday Enrichment opportunities are giving students the chance to discover new interests and develop skills they can enjoy for years to come.
We hope to see lots of students back for another fun day of sewing and creating!

🧵✨ Stitch & Create was a HIT! ✨🧵
Our first Friday Enrichment Camp brought together students in grades K–8 for two fun-filled Fridays of creativity, learning, and sewing! Students learned new sewing skills, practiced using sewing machines, and put their creativity to work making some amazing projects—including bags, stuffies, and so much more!
We had a fantastic turnout and loved seeing our students try something new, learn from one another, and take pride in what they created. 💙
A HUGE thank you to our teachers who poured their time, energy, and creativity into making Stitch & Create such a success! We’re excited to kick off what we hope will be many more fun and engaging Friday Enrichment opportunities.
