She writes notes to her students of encouragement and praise and meets with children before school and during her planning time. She hosts student lunches in her classroom. Kristen's dedication to her students is seen in everything she does. Kristen has been teaching for 22 years with 18 of those years here at PCY. She has also served as grade level rep.

Science Night Out - February 28th
Reminder: Science Night Out: February 28, 5:30-7pm in the MPR
Thursday night is our last Science Night Out of the school year, and we're going out on a *serious* high note. We managed to persuade marine turtle expert Dr. Stephen Dunbar to come talk to us about conservation efforts to protect this endangered sea turtles. If you have other plans, change them. This will be better. Dr. Dunbar is the leading expert in the field, and his work is impactful. As an added bonus, his subjects are adorable.
We'll see you at 5:30pm for pizza and a pre-talk activity, and at 6pm for Dr. Dunbar's talk.
