The Hour of Code is a one-hour introduction to computer science, designed to demystify code and show that anybody can learn the basics. See Mr. Larkin in 300 N to sign up. Space is limited so sign up ASAP.
You may have noticed the snowflakes in the lobby. They were made by members of PAW as a fundraiser. We are asking that you sponsor a snowflake for $2. We will then take all proceeds and purchase cat & dog toys to bring to the local shelters. So please stop by the main office and see Ms. Berry to purchase your snowflake, then write your name on it and we will display it in the lobby. THANK YOU EVERYONE!
