🚀 At Tulakes Elementary, Mrs. Aguilar turned her classroom into a grocery store 🛒 where students took on the challenge of planning a family dinner with a $50 budget. As they "shop" for ingredients, they’re learning essential skills like budgeting, decision-making, and financial literacy. 💰✨ Over the next few weeks, they'll also navigate unexpected expenses, just like in real life!

On this last day of school before Winter Break, the halls were filled with laughter, joy, and holiday cheer. ❄️ From cozy holiday PJs to jingling holiday parties, it was a perfect day to deck the halls with memories that will last all season long. 🎄
It may not feel like winter outside, but it's almost time for Winter Break! We're snow excited for a wonderful week of celebrations (and finals 😅), then it's time to chill out and feel all the holiday vibes with family and friends!

It was all concentration at the elementary PC Chess Tournament. ♟️ Guaranteed, you've never heard a room full of elementary students this quiet!
Students from 10 different elementary schools, staff, and family members came together at PC High for the highly anticipated annual PC Stars of the Future event! ✨ This event is always fun as it is their first time participating in Special Olympics. There were definitely plenty of star athletes in training. 🤩
Did you know? Being just 10 minutes late every day adds up to nearly a week of lost learning by the end of the year! 📚✨ 𝔼𝕧𝕖𝕣𝕪 𝕞𝕚𝕟𝕦𝕥𝕖 𝕔𝕠𝕦𝕟𝕥𝕤!
📌 Attendance and punctuality are key to success in school—and in life. When students are present and on time, they’re better prepared to learn, grow, and achieve their goals. 🏆
