The Amazing PCMS PTSA Breakfast Crew treated PCMS Staff to an oatmeal and yogurt bar on Wednesday morning. We enjoyed decorating our plates with toppings galore, fresh fruit, baked goods - including quiche - and fresh brewed coffee. We always look forward to this time -- delicious food, beautiful tablescapes, and the opportunity to gather together in community. We appreciate you, PTSA! Thank you!
Thank you to the parent group who provided PCMS Staff an Eid Lunch to celebrate the close of Ramadan. PCMS Staff was treated to a wonderful spread that included Chai, Lentil Soup, Cholay Chaat, Butter Chicken, Chicken Yakhni Pulao, Goulash with meat, and Sheer Khurma. It was a delicious feast! In addition, information about Ramadan and Eid al-Fitr was provided so staff could learn more about these traditions. Thank you so much for this generous gift and cultural exchange! We felt all the love and care put into the preparation and we enjoyed every bite! Thank you!
