From Mr. Mendive: "Dear PCCS families, It is with deep sadness that I share some heartbreaking news. Our beloved staff lunch lady, Ms. Mandy, has unexpectedly passed away. Mandy was a cherished part of our school family, known by every student... Mandy has been a stalwart on our PTO for as long as I can remember. She has been a very active parent to one graduate and one current PCCS student. Mandy was also a best friend to many of our faculty. Thus, we have had so many staff request time off to attend the services on Thursday, and we feel very much obliged to honor each request, we will be cancelling school on Thursday, November 7th. I do understand that this creates a significant inconvenience for many of you, but we hope that you will understand the importance for our crew. "

PCCS Week ahead Not a lot of extras happening this week. Middle School students will be gone for the week learning and exploring at Henry's Place in Utah. Coming next week: On Monday, November 11th, we will celebrate Veterans Day at 2:30 PM in the gym. We have loved this ceremony each year as we learn what Veterans Day is all about and honor our very own community members who have served our country. The students are invited to fill out spotlight forms about Veterans they know and love, to be hung in the halls at school. These can be found on the visitor check in desk outside the front office. They can be filled out, colored and turned in any time between now and Veterans Day. (Please turn in to crew leaders, or the front office to be placed in Mrs. Barlow's mail box.) Also, each family is encouraged to invite one Veteran who is close to them (Family member, neighbor, etc....) to attend. We will present them with a token of our appreciation. Parents, please come too! We look forward to seeing you all there!

Lunch Menu for November. Remember, each week, the cutoff to order for the next week, is by Friday at 10 AM. Middle School Parents: remember to NOT order lunches for the week of the Henry's Place Trip. (Nov. 4th-8th)
