Dear PAS Families:

Thank you for a great race today (click here to see the finish line video), for a wonderful Rainbow Library Event on Friday and to all who donated to the Patrick O'Neill Memorial Fund on Space Day Dress Down Day.  We had intended to share a video of the presentation to Dr. Kreidle, but the video recorder didn't pick up the audio.  Ann was speechless, completely surprised and overwhelmed with gratitude for the PAS community.  She hopes everyone enjoys the PAS grounds as much as her husband did. We purchased a weeping cherry that will be planted this fall.

Spirit Week is here! See you in your PJ's tomorrow. Be sure to click HERE for the schedule so your child can be prepared for the fun!

There is Still Time to Earn a Lil' Pop Shop Party! We are at 46% completion rate but if we get to 90% by June 10, we are ready for a Lil' Shop Party.  Please take 5 minutes to complete the 23-24 School Experience survey.  Your feedback will help us plan for next year.  Click HERE to complete the survey.

Calling All Past Due Library Books!

Ms. Ross is offering an amnesty for all overdue late book fees. That's right no late fees for overdue books so dig through those closets, under the bed, in the bottom of the laundry pile and return your library books to the library.  Email Ms. Ross at jross@@philasd.org if you have questions.

And finally, we still have yearbooks available. Click HERE to order.

New Driver and Biker Drop-Off & Pick Up Plan

In our continued effort to improve the drop off and pick up experience for our drivers and the safety of our students, we are launching a new plan for drivers and bikers.  Spruce and Locust Streets are 20 minute stopping zones and provide an entire block of space for drivers that would like to walk with their child.  Please click HERE to learn more.  We will be handing out fliers and sending them home in the pony.

The HSA is collecting donations which will be passed on to all teachers & staff as a year end bonus in recognition of their hard work all year long. Each and every teacher and staff member from classroom and specialist teachers to cafeteria and office workers to crossing guards and custodians will get a gift. Donate HERE. Thank you for your generosity!

The programs listed below have either shared fliers with the school or are within a few blocks of Penn Alexander. These programs are not affiliated with Penn Alexander; as such, families should evaluate each program to ensure it is the right fit for their family.  Click on the links for more information.
