PCS ConnectED is underway!
Our first class came together last night, and the energy and engagement in the room made it a great start! Participants began by meeting others in the group and discovering connections and common ground. They also learned more about Pelham City Schools through presentations on our school system, the role of the Board of Education, and how our schools are funded.
This is what PCS ConnectED is all about: bringing people together to build connections, encourage collaboration, and gain a deeper understanding of our school system. We’re looking forward to continuing the conversation and exploring different aspects of PCS each month!
Thank you to the Pelham City Schools Foundation for sponsoring PCS ConnectED and helping make this opportunity possible. We appreciate their support of our schools and community!
