PCS Grandparents!

Please join us for a special Pacific Crest Grandparent event, January 25th, from 3 - 4pm.

Whether you come to school regularly or visit only on occasion, we appreciate your role in our Pacific Crest community! Being a Montessori grandparent can be a journey of new insights and delights. We want to give you a new opportunity to discover how your grandchild is learning and developing through our Montessori materials and developmental approach.

Please join us for a guided exploration of our classrooms, a brief demonstration of learning through Montessori materials and a chance to ask your burning questions about Pacific Crest and Montessori education. Refreshments will be provided.

This is your chance to come and mingle with other PCS members of our community! Come and let go, dance your heart out without the worry of high school judgment.

Why do I need a ticket? Is this a fundraiser??
Nope, not a fundraiser, the ticket sales go straight to pay for the jungle juice.
