Thanks to the generosity of our Patriot families over the years, our Middle School Color Run fundraisers have helped us refurnish 5 classrooms with brand-new student desks and chairs and expand our science lab tables! We aim to continue these improvements with the help of donations made through this year's fundraiser and you can help by logging on to myadvzone.com! 🏃🏽✨

Since we kicked off last week, our students have brought in pledges and won some awesome prizes! We are excited to celebrate on October 16th when we'll be concluding the fundraiser with our annual PCCS Color Run! Be sure to follow the middle school's Parentsquare posts for the latest prize giveaways and fundraiser updates.
