BAKER ELEMENTARY ALPHA students were asked to make the tallest pumpkin tower with only 30 toothpicks and 30 pumpkins. Some quickly realized that building a sturdy base was key to success. The tallest tower was 10 inches tall. #pcssdproud #equityandexcellence

Today is Young Readers Day, which recognizes the joys and benefits of reading. Books open a world of imagination and knowledge to readers every day and it is important we instill a love of reading into our children at an early age. #pcssdproud #equityandexcellence
November is Child Safety Protection Month. The Centers for Disease Control reports children between ages 1-4 have the highest rate of poisoning. Parents should keep cleaning supplies and medications are put away and out of the reach of children. #pcssdproud #equiityandexcellence
Two BAKER ELEMENTARY students were unplanned "twins" wearing the same outfit! It's always a good day to match you friend! #pcssdproud #equityandexcellence
November is Native American Heritage Month. The U.S. government recognizes nearly 600 Indian tribes in the contiguous 48 states and Alaska. Several rituals are tribe specific, but some cross tribe boundaries, including pow wows, the stomp dance, and drum circles.
PCSSD is lucky to have so many amazing teacher librarians across the district. Thank you to each one of them (not all pictured) for doing "virtually anything" for our schools, staff and students! #pcssdproud #equityandexcellence
