PSS Pre-K Students Decorate Flowerpots
Polk Street School’s pre-K classes celebrated the beginning of spring with a flowerpot craft on April 11. Following a party with an array of snacks, the students began decorating their own flowerpots. Using colorful spring stickers of bumblebees and flowers, they beautified their pots and prepared them for being filled with dirt. Donning gardening gloves, each student planted their flower seeds. The flowerpots will be placed on the classroom windowsills for the students to observe their growth.
The district is proud to share that it has received a national award from the National School Boards Association for our Daily Living Space program! Congratulations to our Board of Education for their advocacy and support, and to Dr. Taylor and her dedicated team for the incredible work that made this possible!
