PCS is partnering with the Person County Emergency Services in collecting new stuffed animals and new or gently used books to be delivered to children in counties to our west affected by Hurricane Helene.
Donations will be accepted at all schools through Wednesday 10/09.
Additionally, we will be posting upcoming donation events around Roxboro that will be taking place in the next few days. These events will be posted on the PCS Facebook page and website.
Thank you for your support of students in our western counties.
Due to possible hazardous weather and road conditions that may arise due to the approaching hurricane, tomorrow, Friday, September 27th will be a Remote Learning Day for all students and staff. Students should have brought home materials and/or laptops to be able to work on assignments. Additionally, students who attend PCC will need to follow the schedules for classes as communicated.
Please also note that all school daycares will be closed and all after-school activities have been cancelled.
Stay safe and have a good weekend.
