Parishville-Hopkinton Central School District

Don't forget that the PHCS Panther Paws Festival: Back-2-School Event is just around the corner! Bring the whole family out for an evening of fun. Here are a few highlights of what to expect: Children can bring their bikes and helmets to get a safety check of them and participate in a bike rodeo. We will have Nicandri Nature Center there with some fun scaly friends. The Sheriffs Department will be set up to do SAFE Child ID cards for all the children in your family. The Ladies Auxiliary will be preparing and handing out a free meal. The PHCS PTO will be there for interested parents to sign up to join them in all the wonderful good they do for our district. Come meet our fantastic new MS/HS Art Teacher, Ms. Khars, and let her paint your face. And of course, there will be FREE school supplies (supply lists will be available), backpacks, clothing, hair cut vouchers, and books set up (until run out). And that is just a taste of what will be there! So come join in on all the fun while Jeff Yette entertains us all with some wonderful music! We look forward to seeing you all there.

The PHCS Panther Paws Project would like to send a heartfelt thank you to the Hopkinton-Fort Jackson Fire Department and the Hopkinton Dollar General for continuing to creatively support the PHCS Back-2-School Event. This is the 3rd year that they have organized a Fill-the-Fire Truck event to help collect donations of school supplies for the students of PHCS. Your generosity and time are so greatly appreciated.
