A Season of Gratitude and Care 

Dear PHCSE Families,

As we enter this season of gratitude, I find myself reflecting on what truly strengthens our PHCSE community—our care, compassion, and commitment to one another. November reminds us to pause, give thanks, and recognize the people and moments that keep us grounded, especially during these unprecedented times.

I am deeply grateful for our students, whose energy and resilience light up our classrooms each day in myriad ways. I’m thankful for our teachers and staff, who bring focus and integrity to their work, and for our families, whose partnership and trust make everything we do possible.

We also understand that for some families, this season can bring added stress or uncertainty. Please know that you are not alone. Our school counselor and social worker are available to connect families with community resources and supports—whether emotional, financial, or otherwise. If your family could benefit from a conversation or connection, we encourage you to reach out. We are here to help.

As we look ahead, I’m filled with hope for what the rest of this school year holds. Each day presents new opportunities to learn, grow, and strengthen the sense of community that defines PHCSE. Together, we are building something meaningful—one conversation, one classroom, and one student at a time. I look forward to seeing how our continued partnership will shape the weeks and months ahead.

Wishing you a peaceful and family-filled holiday season.
