Sylvan Hills Junior High

What would we do without our volunteers? PCSSD is so thankful for the many volunteers across the district. Although we didn't have our annual banquet, we still want to give our volunteers a special shout out! THANK YOU! http://ow.ly/ozHa50Fmbde #pcssdproud #equityandexcellence

PCSSD will observe Independence Day next Monday (July 5), therefore the scheduled pickup day for the 7-day meal box will be on Tuesday, July 6. The times and locations are the same - just the day of the week will change. http://ow.ly/I9CE50Fkmrt #pcssdproud #equityandexcellence

Summer is a great time to be outdoors. One way to have some outside fun is to paint outside. Painting outside gives kids the freedom to make a mess, without the stress of paint getting everywhere! http://ow.ly/YlYy50F0rKc #pcssdproud #equityandexcellence

Kids often fall victim to the summer slide, but we want to offer some tips to prevent the slide. Encourage entrepreneurship: a lemonade stand, mowing lawns, making crafts, or other skills your child wants to explore. http://ow.ly/sMPJ50F0rIl #pcssdproud #equityandexcellence

Summertime means school is out, but that won't stop our student-athletes from continuing the hard work on the court.

Summer is a great time to be outdoors. One way to have some outside fun is to make DIY chalk bombs. Fill water balloons with a washable chalk-paint mixture, draw targets on the ground, and have fun! http://ow.ly/2Qfc50F0rzD #pcssdproud #equityandexcellence
