The PTO revival of Grandparents Day "Goodies with Grands" was a huge success! Grandparents and Grandfriends were able to gather at the school with their Pre-K through 5th grade students to enjoy donuts and milk, an activity sheet, and a photo with fun props.

Many thanks to all who helped, including PTO volunteers, PHCS staff, teachers, and high school students.

Food and supplies were generously donated by Walmart, Price Chopper, and Tim Hortons.

🍀A BIG thank you to Mr. McCormick for coming out last night and reading a few stories about those tricky leprechauns.

The kids had fun using their fine motor skills to create some pretty awesome and unique shamrocks!!!!

Valentines Day Story Time was all about ❤️

A big thanks to Dennis Snell for reading! 

A huge Thank You to everyone who came to January's Story Time, it sure was chilly outside.

Mrs. Wilkes was our guest reader and the kids had a great time creating secret pictures and messages using white crayons and watercolor. 

Story Time with Santa was a huge success!!!

We had over 100 attendees, including 69 children. Mrs. Knowles and Heather Snell were the coordinators of the event, and they are so excited that the revision of this classic event has been well received. The PTO thanks all the volunteers who showed up early and stayed late, without you this wouldn’t be possible. Many hands definitely make light work.

Highlights of the event:

• Singing Christmas songs with Mrs. Knowles

• 2 books read by Santa

• Visiting Santa and taking photos with him

• Cookie decorating

• Delicious hot cocoa

• Ornament making

The toys that were generally donated by our community members have been delivered to the Parishville Fire Department and were greatly appreciated. There will be many happy kids on Christmas morning.

We hope you all have an amazing holiday!

A HUGE thank you to John Liebfred for coming out and not only being our special guest reader but also talking to the kids about what it means to be a firefighter. The kids got to see first hand what the fireman wear and what their equipment looks and sounds like. Thank you for educating the kiddos and making them feel comfortable in case of an emergency.

We also got to celebrate John’s birthday with cupcakes and juice that his wife Heather Liebfred donated for snack.
