Sharpen Your Pencils .... Welcome Back to Peirce

While we were enjoying the summer, Peirce School & its staff were very busy.  First, summer school was held at Peirce.  After summer session let out the janitorial & engineering staff were busy with infrastructure improvements.  Then Ms. Mendez, Mrs. Makowski & staff were busy hiring no less than 5 teachers.  Welcome new staff!  


As the hot days of August came, it was time to get ready for school.  Floors were shined, boxes of books were delivered, teachers arranged classrooms, computers were "stamped" & wait till you see what Ms. Mendez did in the gym (think murals, fresh paint & a newly sanded floor) !!   

And a few more exciting school announcements -
