The PCS junior high school students delivered an outstanding performance of Matilda, showcasing impressive talent, dedication, and teamwork. From the acting and choreography to the technical elements behind the scenes, the production reflected the hard work of both students and staff. It was a memorable experience for the school community and a clear example of the strength of the district’s arts programs.
In addition to celebrating student achievements, important facility improvements are moving forward. The PCS window project remains on schedule and is set to begin as soon as students leave for summer break. This timing is designed to minimize disruption while ensuring the work is completed efficiently.
Looking ahead, the district continues to take a proactive approach to long-term planning. A comprehensive review of facilities is currently underway to better address space needs and identify opportunities for upgrades. This effort reflects a commitment to providing safe, functional, and modern learning environments that support student success.
The district’s strategic planning process is moving in the right direction. With thoughtful input and developing a clear focus on long-term goals, the work underway is helping to guide future decisions and strengthen the overall direction of the district.

The Saukee Reading Club continues to inspire young readers across the district, encouraging students in Kindergarten through Fifth Grade to develop a love of books.
Participants worked diligently to complete either one or two reading contracts, tracking their progress through pages and books read.
Those who met their goals were rewarded with a special experience — attending a high school basketball or wrestling event, where they were recognized in front of the crowd and had the opportunity to high-five Saukee athletes.
Students who went above and beyond by completing both contracts earned a commemorative T-shirt, generously sponsored this year by Eagle Valley Bank.
We would also like to thank the Ty Rylander Memorial Foundation for sponsoring a free adult entry to games and free drink/snack for our readers.
The Pikeland School District is grateful for the community support that helps make programs like this possible and celebrates the students’ dedication to reading.
Saukee Reading Club Coordinators include Brittney Frieden, Heather Richards, Jessica Lister, and Chloe Davis.
Thank you,
Mrs. Allen
