Peirce's Playground Clean-up was a Shining Success....  

Ms. Hopkins led Peirce student council members, family volunteers & teacher/staff volunteers on a wonderfully windy Saturday as all combed the Peirce campus for debris and garbage.

In all, approximately 250 lbs. of refuse were collected and tossed.  We appreciated our very motivated middle-schoolers who teamed up to tip the scales with trash. 

Also, Ms. Hopkins led a group of volunteer gardeners who planted some pretty annuals in our garden.  Well Done to all! 

 

Peirce Walk-A-Thon Needs a Thank-A-Thon.....  

Thank you to Kate Merrill and her volunteer team for producing a fun & profitable Walk-A-Thon event this year.  Our thanks to the approximately 2 dozen volunteers who ran the event - special thanks to Grandma Alice, Uncle Jim & Grandma Mary - Peirce volunteers were a multi-generational group this year.  We appreciate your efforts!  Walk-A-Thon proceeds will be used to support Peirce's athletic teams.     

And many thanks to our students who participated in raising funds and enjoyed the games and popcorn !
