PCK receives prestigious National Blue Ribbon School designation!
Mrs. Harth and I will attend the ceremony, and we look forward to bringing home the NBRS flag to proudly fly in front of our school. This is an award we all share because we know it is the partnership between home and school that allows our students to consistently grow, learn and achieve at the levels they do. To say that we are immensely proud is an understatement; we could not be prouder of our staff, students and parent community.
