It was fabulous to see so many families at Back to School Night. This just would not be The House of PRIDE without the support and involvement of our entire community. A key ingredient in our PRIDE foundation is building and sustaining relationships. That s at the heart of our classroom learning, activity and athletic programming and community building. Here are some ways we offer to be an even bigger Pirate PRIDE supporter 1) Come to the Parent Shindig. Friday, September 16, 6-9:30 tickets are on sale on Revtrak 2) Join us for a SAC meeting (or 4) They are actually pretty interesting and I rely on parent feedback to support budget and programing decisions.
