PCSST students and administration teamed up after school to host our annual Welcome Back Ice Cream Party! Students and staff came together to celebrate the start of the new school year with sweet treats, great music, and plenty of fun. It was a wonderful opportunity for students to catch up with friends, connect with school leaders in a relaxed setting, and kick off the year on a high note. Thank you to our student organizers and administrators for putting together such a cool event, and to everyone who came out to share a scoop with us!
