💫💐🌞 PCWS May Faire was last Friday! Welcoming the peak of spring and the month of May, the entire school danced around the Maypole. The dancing was followed by a spectacular community event organized by our Parent Association. We picnicked, played games, made crafts, danced some more and laughed. It was a magical day that we will all cherish.

✨A special thank you to our Parent Association, particularly those involved in the planning, preparing and volunteering.

✨ Grade two hiked from Riverbend to Great Falls this week to see the blooming bluebells.

✨But more importantly they were connected to nature and each other and felt the fresh air and warm sun.

Watercolor painting happens in all of our early childhood classrooms.

This quiet process creates a soul experience with color. Children experience the mood of the color and the magic of color combinations.

Nothing is explained to the children. It is an experience.

🌿 Today our forest day had some special visitors from the Washington Society of Landscape Painters.

🎨 Artists were painting scenes from around the lighthouse at Jones Point Park and our preschool and kindergarten children observed and asked many questions.

✨ One of the artists even included our beloved teacher, Ms. Kristina and some children. See if you can spot them 💙💜🩷

💫 Thank you 💫

✨ Our Maple Tree kindergarten has been creating beautiful felted flowers and wreaths in anticipation of Spring.

✨ Wet felting is a craft which requires lots of patience. Children watch the magic unfold as fluffy wool turns into a work of art, using soapy water and their hands!

✨ We have space in our 2026-2027 early childhood classes. Visit the link in our bio for more information and to schedule a tour.
