A MESSAGE FROM OUR PRINCIPAL & ASST PRINCIPAL

 
.
 

Dear Pride Families,

We hope everyone had a fantastic Spring Break! We’re excited to welcome students back as we kick off the final quarter of the school year strong, both academically and socially. Let’s start the week off right by arriving to school on time and in uniform, ready to learn and grow together.

Spring Picture Day is this Thursday- students may wear their favorite outfit and bring their brightest smile (uniforms are not required for picture day). Club pictures will take place on Friday, with more details shared below in the newsletter.

We’re also thrilled for our annual Around the World Festival this Thursday, March 26, from 5:30–7:00 PM in the cafeteria. Join us for an evening of celebration as we experience the incredible food, languages, traditions, music, and outfits that represent the many cultures that make Pride Elementary such a special place to be!

 

Yo-ho-ho and onward we go!

Mrs. Meyer and Mrs. Moncrief

PTA EXECTUTIVE BOARD NOMINATIONS

 

🌟 Want to Make a Difference at Pride? Join Our PTA Executive Board! 🌟

Are you looking for a meaningful way to get involved at Pride Elementary and help shape our school community? The Pride Elementary PTA is now accepting nominations for the 2026–2027 Executive Board, and we’d love to see you (or someone you know!) step into a leadership role!

PTA board members play an important role in supporting our students, staff, and school events-and no prior experience is required, just a willingness to help and collaborate. Positions include President, Vice President (1 & 2), Treasurer, and Recording Secretary. If serving on the board isn’t the right fit, there are also many committee opportunities to get involved behind the scenes.

If you’re interested (or would like to nominate someone with their permission), please complete the PTA Nominating Form and return it by Tuesday, April 14, 2026. Forms may be emailed or dropped off at the front office. Let’s work together to continue making Pride an amazing place for our students and families! 💙🦁

We need volunteers to help in the cafeteria during lunch on a daily basis between 10:00 and 1:30. Ideally, we would like to have recurring volunteers, but any time you can help would be greatly appreciated! The role involves monitoring student behavior, assisting students with opening food items, escorting students to the bathroom or health clinic, helping with spills, etc...
