Mrs. McLaughlin's summary of a portion of the day's itinerary:
- "We spent the afternoon on a bus tour of the Ring of Kerry. An amazing route that goes past unbelievable scenery and history. We stopped at a beach, lookout points, and small quaint villages."
- The following are images of the vistas, and beach. You may catch Mr. Shuskey engaging in some impromptu marine science lessons.
The first of several updates today from our travelers abroad.
- Carriage rides through Killarney National Park

We have been checking with multiple sources and believe the last time we hosted a varsity tennis match on school grounds (Old Tennis Courts) was the mid-'70s (PCS Tennis Alumni feel free to provide additional information).
This would mean today's varsity tennis match with Livonia is the first time in approximately 50 years the varsity tennis team has played a home match on school grounds.
We would like to thank our community for our amazing tennis/pickleball courts, and bringing varsity tennis back to PCS.

Yesterday, PCS student-athletes Brady Kelly, Keira Weber, Tyler Harvey, Abby Herring, and Madi Monteleone attended the Section V Sportsmanship Summit at SUNY Geneseo. They participated in workshops throughout the day that included team-building games, a mindfulness session with Erica Ebert, and a "Pause Before You Post" session led by Fairport Coach Scott Fitch. #PrideInTheHive
A total solar eclipse will sweep across our area on April 8, creating, if observed safely, an incredible real-life science lesson for students (and adults). Mrs. Adolf and some of her elementary art classes are joining the fun by learning more about this phenomenon and creating artwork inspired by what they will see that day. #PrideInTheHive
Senior guard Jaelyn Morris was one of only three girls from the LCAA selected to play in the Ronald McDonald All-Star Game. At the conclusion of the game this past Saturday, Jaelyn was named the Gold Team's Most Valuable Player. Congratulations!!!! #PrideInTheHive
