The next PCA Book Club book has been chosen!

November's book is The Namesake by Jhumpa Lahiri

"Meet the Ganguli family, new arrivals from Calcutta, trying their best to become Americans even as they pine for home. The name they bestow on their firstborn, Gogol, betrays all the conflicts of honoring tradition in a new world - conflicts that will haunt Gogol on his own winding path through divided loyalties, comic detours, and wrenching love affairs."

The Giving Tree

This year we will be expanding the Giving Tree to include all grade levels.  

Three tress will be placed around the school so that everyone may participate.  

Look for details coming soon!
