Last night's "Meet and Greet" was a big success! It was nice to meet some of the new students that will be attending PCA, as well seeing those that are returning to PCA. We will have an awesome year!
It was also great to see some of my students from last year; thanks for coming to say hi. Good luck to each of you in your first year in high school. Stay focused on the important things, and have fun! Keep in touch.

Sport Tryouts: Get ready for the Fall sports tryouts. Tryouts begin Wed.,the 27th. That means that you must have your sports physical and the form completed in order to attend tryouts. So don't delay, get it done today! The physical form can be found on the PCA website. Go to the "Parents Corner", then the "Nurse Info.", then "Sports Physical".

In the near future, I will be adding special links to my blog, so be sure to come back to visit.
I welcome your comments and/or suggestions. You can send a comment via this blog or you can e-mail me at sjilek@pca.k12.de.us
Always remember that we are a team, working together for student success.
Without "U" I would not have "SUCCESS"!
