Last night, Pleasant Gap held its annual art show. Thank you to all who attended and to the students who worked so hard to make some terrific art! A special shout out to Ms. Shoemaker for putting on a great art show!

The March Reading Challenge at PG was for students and staff to read 1000 books. If that challenge was met, Dr. Eckenroth was going to be turned into a pizza. Well, as promised, Dr. Eckenroth was pizza-ed yesterday afternoon. Students took turns dumping dough mix, pizza sauce, cheese, peppers, mushrooms, pineapple, and oregano on him, turning him into a human pizza. Thank you for all who read during the month of March. Remember to keep up that reading!

From Dr. Rakszawski- With widespread power outages still impacting many homes and the District, we will operate on a 2-hour delay schedule today, with the possibility of a change. I will re-evaluate conditions at 7:00 for a possible closure.
