Pikeland 10:
PCS Veteran's Day celebration was outstanding. It's very important we honor those who proudly served our country, and it's equally important for our students to remember why we have the freedoms we enjoy. Congratulations to Mrs. Cobb and the PCS Student Council for putting together this very well attended program. Thank you to Mrs. Leppert. Mr. & Mrs. Bangert, and all of the students who were part of the music provided. Many Student Council students presented poems and provided well crafted presentations, and we were honored to have the color guard from the Pittsfield American Legion Post 152 in attendance. A very special thank you to Sherry Pease, Eric Lane, and Justin Noble for coming in to share their personal stories.
Pittsfield, once again, demonstrates it strong commitment to the students and staff of the Pikeland School District. Thank you for all who played a part in making this celebration possible!
Go Saukees!
