Poplar Grove 5-8

The week of April 6–10 is Assistant Principal’s Week, and we are so fortunate to have three incredible leaders, Mrs. Carroll, Dr. Bracamontes, and Dr. Orman, supporting our school every day! Let's show them some love this week for all they do!

Happy paraprofessional day to these superstars who love us so well.

Newsies Jr. opening night is tonight in the PAC at 6:30! You can catch it tomorrow night at 6:30 as well or Saturday at 2:00 or 6:30. It does not disappoint!

We couldn’t be more proud to name Kiara Rodgers as our classified employee of the year she models what dedication and hard work look like every day for our students.

We couldn’t be more proud of Darren Villavicencio Lopez tonight for his speech to the FSD School Board tonight about the impact of our Aerospace Class. Way to go Darren! We are honored to see your hard work and character in action everyday! #PGSProud
