We would also like to extend a hearty invitation to our 2017-18 incoming kindergarten families to join us! This event is a great way to meet the PSI community.
 
Pack a picnic, or take a break from cooking and cleaning up dinner after the Memorial Day holiday by purchasing food from Tot Boss or Simply Steve's food trucks! Money raised at this picnic will help defray the cost for next year's 5th graders' two-day field trip to Camp Ihduhapi.
