We're excited to announce another fun Friday Enrichment opportunity this week! After a short break for conferences, we're back with a day full of technology, creativity, coding, and hands-on learning!
Get Ready to STEMulate Your Creativity! 🌱🤖
This Friday, students will have the opportunity to explore the exciting world of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) through a variety of engaging activities.
3D Design & Printing
Students will learn to use Tinkercad, a fun and accessible 3D design program that allows them to turn their ideas into digital creations. Even better, each student will receive one small 3D-printed creation to take home!
Coding & Robotics
Students will also explore the basics of computer coding through interactive activities using LEGO robotics and Data Bots. They'll have opportunities to experiment, solve problems, and discover how coding can bring their creations to life.
Whether your student is already interested in technology or has never tried coding or 3D design before, this camp will offer something for everyone. Activities will be adapted for different ages and skill levels, so all PCCS students in grades K–8 are welcome!

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!
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!
