One of the Community Service events for the month of September will be partnering with St. Jude. As mentioned at Back to School Night, St.Jude is one of our community partners.

St. Jude is hosting their annual St. Jude Walk/Run on September 30th at Tom Lee Park. We are registered as a school team. Our goal as a school is to raise $1,500 for St. Jude and have school representation in the walk. It would be amazing to see PCA gear come across that finish line!!! We need your help to reach our goal.

3) Wednesday, September 13th DRESS IN YELLOW day. All scholars and staff are encouraged to pay $3 to dress in yellow, jeans, and their favorite sneakers this Wednesday. All money will be donated to St. Jude on behalf of SOUTHEAST. (Friendly reminder that scholars must pay the $3 in cash and wear yellow to be a part. No negotiations on this)
