“Angst” Showing 2/5/19 Please join us for a PTSA-sponsored screening of the acclaimed film Angst: Anxiety is treatable- it’s okay to say. You can order your tickets online now or buy them at the door. 
This documentary delves into the growing epidemic of tween and teen anxiety as well as discusses powerful ways kids (and adults) can cope. 
 
Tickets are $5 each, pay what you can, or free for those that paying is a hardship. Funds go to offset the Angst licensing fee. The PTSA will also be selling snacks and drinks before the show. Doors open at 6 pm, screening begins promptly at 6:30 pm, Wednesday, February 5, 2020. Contact Sarah Vanbuskirk slvanbuskirk@gmail.com with any questions or if you can help at the event.
The da Vinci Green Team is BACK! If your student is interested in sustainability and working on "Green" projects at school, please talk to them about joining the da Vinci Green Team! This group will focus on projects on-campus to improve the sustainability of our school such as reducing cafeteria waste (disposable forks, trays), rain garden, solar roof, and classroom recycling. Students will learn about the challenges facing our planet while taking action in their school.

From our Media Specialist in the Library: Can't log onto your student google drive account at home? That's probably because you're still using the old domain "@apps4pps.net". Delete that account and then add your account with the new domain name "@student. pps.net"
