$500 Raised for Outdoor Education Camp

The 6th grade class raised over $500 last week during their donation car wash here at Plumas Christian School. Money raised will help fund their attendance at the Outdoor Education Program at the U.C. Berkeley Forestry Camp in October. Thanks to all who participated!

A Friendly Reminder

PTF will be starting Pizza Fridays on October 21st.
Sign-ups will be coming home with your student shortly. Please contact PTF if you would like to help with this activity.

Who Am I?


This PCS alumnus was just 9-years-old in this picture. He now lives in Quincy with his wife (also a PCS alumnus) and children. Can you guess who he is? HINT: As a fourth grader, his favorite books were "Hardy Boys" mysteries.

Secret Staff

Every month, we will highlight a PCS staff member...can you guess who it is? Find out in next months' issue.

This staff member celebrated a birthday this month. When she's not in the classroom, she loves to be out in her garden with Abby and Woody, spending time with family, and sewing.
Her favorite restaurant is Rico's, and daffodils are her favorite flower.

Spell-A-Thon is HERE!

The Spell-A-Thon is an exciting educational fundraiser! It endeavors to raise money for our current school year and secure donors for the future of Plumas Christian School. The Preschool through 6th grade students will be given 50 words to spell correctly, with the Preschool and Kindergarten students focusing on letter recognition and sounds. On the day of the fundraiser, younger students will be given an oral spelling test, while a written test will be given to our 1st - 6th grade students.

Our goal is to reach $50,000 for curriculum, staffing, and enrichment, with anything brought in beyond this amount being applied toward student scholarships.
Our ultimate goal is to keep Christian Education in Plumas County.

First Buddy Chapel


On September 16th, Plumas Christian School students attended their first Buddy Chapel of the 2016-2017 school year. Students took pictures with their buddies and participated in a get-to-know-you activity.  Buddy Chapel is a monthly tradition where Co-Pilot Preschoolers and younger students are paired up with older students to foster a sense of community and build lasting friendships.
 

Parent Teacher Fellowship Event

3rd Place in County Parade

On August 13, 2016, Plumas Christian School entered a float in the Plumas-Sierra County Fair Parade. Several students and staff participated in the event to raise awareness in the community about PCS and the benefits of keeping Christian education in Plumas County. Our float was awarded a 3rd Place ribbon. Great job PCS!
