PCHEA annual End of the Year Awards Banquet coming up soon!
Monday, May 18th at 6:00, Lakeview Church of Christ, Shawnee


Please put this date on your calendar now and start thinking about the school year
and what milestones have occurred or what progress has been made. Awards can be given for anything that you deem worthy of acknowledgement, such as graduating kindergarten, learning to play an instrument, success in a particular subject, growing in character...it is up to each family to decide.

Let me know if you have a graduating kindergartner, we have hats if needed. Also let me know if there are any high school graduates.

Just come ready with your awards and a brief description for each. We will provide
tables for setting up a sample of the children's work and projects. It is really nice for
the children to see what others have done and to show off their hard work as well.
PCHEA will provide sandwiches, drinks and cake. You bring a side dish to share.
Please direct any questions to Nancy Schwab.
