They are always ready to help, show up with a warm smile, and have the answers to just about everything! Thank you both so much for everything that you do for our students, staff, and families.

📚✨ ATLAS Testing is Here! ✨📚
Hey students (and parents of students)! As exams creep up, here are some quick Testing Tips to help you feel more confident and crush those tests:
✅ Sleep = Success – Your brain needs rest to remember everything you've studied.
✅ Fuel up – Eat a good breakfast (yes, even if you're nervous).
✅Make sure chromebooks are charged!!
✅ Stay calm – Deep breaths. You’ve got this. Seriously.
✅ Positive mindset – Believe in your prep and your progress.
Remember: a test is just one moment in time, not a measure of your worth. You've worked hard—now show what you know! 💪
Good luck, everyone! 🍀📖

Happy National School Librarian Day!!
"I enjoy being the PHS librarian because I have always loved reading. I hope to show my students reading can be a great way to escape reality and learn more about the world and themselves. I have the best students and coworkers at PHS, and I am so proud to be working at a place I have always loved and called home. Once a Redskin, always a Redskin! "-Kim Nead
