Dragons get a great win over CCS. They start their second game of the Newcastle Tournament in just a few minutes.

Custodians do so much more than keep our building clean and presentable. They open and close our buildings, raise and lower our flags, keep our schools secure, respond to countless spills, and support and serve our students. Thank you PHS Custodians: Steve Massey and Helen Reed

Alexis Wenthold and Carter Goldston were recently interviewed on a TSET podcast about the sneaky tactics tobacco companies use to sell their products to teens. I've linked the podcast. They both appear at the 11:30 mark and speak on the influences that draw teens to vaping use. I'm very proud of both students! https://thetsetbetterhealthpodcast.podbean.com/e/the-sinister-shapeshifting-tobacco-industry/
