🎭 🖌️ The annual Putnam City Arts Festival showcased incredible student performances, cute crafts, and stunning art displays from across the District. It was truly a celebration of creativity and community! Bonus, a group of PC music teachers pulled off a heartfelt surprise award for former longtime Board member, Gail LoPresto, honoring her enduring contributions to the arts in Putnam City. 🎨
Schools across Putnam City are wrapping up the school year with field days, track meets, and well-earned celebrations, and we got to catch one in action! 𝑻𝒖𝒍𝒂𝒌𝒆𝒔 𝑬𝒍𝒆𝒎𝒆𝒏𝒕𝒂𝒓𝒚 held their 19𝐭𝐡 𝐀𝐧𝐧𝐮𝐚𝐥 𝐓𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐤 𝐌𝐞𝐞𝐭 at Putnam City High, and the atmosphere was electric! Students ran hard, played harder, and showed the community what they were made of.
🧠✨ Today marked the first-ever 𝑷𝑪 𝑴𝒊𝒅𝒅𝒍𝒆 𝑺𝒄𝒉𝒐𝒐𝒍 𝑨𝒄𝒂𝒅𝒆𝒎𝒊𝒄 𝑻𝒆𝒂𝒎 𝑻𝒐𝒖𝒓𝒏𝒂𝒎𝒆𝒏𝒕, and it was a hit!
From mythology to math, sports to pop culture, our students impressed us all morning. Our schools collaborated to create a district-wide tournament tailored specifically for middle schoolers, with questions that were age-appropriate, thoughtful, and actually fun! We're already excited for next year!
Out of an abundance of caution due to the forecasted severe weather this afternoon and evening, all outdoor after-school athletic events scheduled for today, April 1, 2025, have been canceled. Please stay safe and weather-aware.
