Pennoyer Families,
This week at Pennoyer we celebrated the gift of giving and had a wonderfully successful Winter Workshop! So many students came, browsed, and bought lots of great gifts for family and friends. They were so thoughtful, and so incredibly excited. I can't thank our amazing PTC enough, and all of the parent volunteers that showed up to work all day long in order to make this special opportunity possible for our students and families. You're an amazing group, and we appreciate you so much!
School Information and Reminders:
*Please make sure to dress your students appropriately as the weather gets colder. We will be outside for arrival time and all recess times when the temperature is above 15 degrees, so wearing coats, hats, and gloves are really important in these winter months to keep kids safe and comfortable. Thanks for your support!

We Celebrate at Pennoyer!
I'm so excited to celebrate our amazing Student Services Director, Miss Alicia Norgard this week! Miss Norgard is such an intricate part of Pennoyer and all of its success. She is an incredible advocate for students and families. She has also been a vital component to creating a successful Special Education Department. She works tirelessly day in and day out, and ALWAYS keeps a positive attitude and a smile on her face. Here energy is infectious, and I truly appreciate her as a thought partner and leader on our administrative team. I lean on her for so much, and she's always there for thoughtful insight or just to listen. Miss Norgard embodies the spirit of Pennoyer and community. She is an amazing support for our staff, and I truly know that Pennoyer is a better place with her in it. We're so lucky to have her!!!
