PPIE Run- April 17, 2016

On April 17, 2016 PPIE is having their annual Fun Run. Join me and a lot of other Mohr teachers for the 5K run/walk. Information can be found HERE to sign up to participate. I'd love to have a large showing of the Wilcox Crew out there that morning showing our Eagle Pride.

For those of you who can't make it, there is also the "Snooze for Schools" option which allows you to donate to this wonderful program, even if you can't be there the day of the race.

Last year, PPIE was able to donate money to help PUSD with a technology coach, class chromebooks, smaller class sizes (TK & K), teacher and student grants, and help fund the elementary band & strings program. Also, one of our room mom's Mrs. Stadermann is one of the Mohr representatives for PPIE.

I hope to see you out there on Sunday, April 17th!

Watch Our Travel Videos

To learn about the 13 Original Colonies, students created persuasive travel videos, hoping to convince future settlers to choose their colony as their new home. Please enjoy the wonderful videos the students created. They worked really hard and put a lot of thought and effort into their final products. Enjoy!
