Talented Boys!
On May 1st, we held our first-ever After-School Talent Show:
Children's Author David Greenberg Visits PDS
Boys learned about poetry and Civil Rights history on April 30 when children's author David Greenberg visited. Mr. Greenberg’s father, Jack Greenberg, was the leading Civil Rights attorney for Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. during the 1960’s.
Bowling with Mentors
Mentoring is a crucial component of our Building Boys, Making Men character education program. To celebrate the end of a great year, Fifth-grade boys and their mentors went bowling on Tuesday, May 8.

Sixth-Grade Boys and Their PK Buddies
Our boys don't just receive mentoring, they pass it on. Each year, our sixth-grade boys meet with a PK buddy throughout the year.
Play! 6th graders love their PK buddies! #pdsknowsboys pic.twitter.com/N3yE779ySA
