March 1, 2022

President's Message

Hello Panda Families!

Our 7th grade & 8th grade dance was a success! Thank you to everyone who volunteered to set up, clean up and chaperone. And a HUGE thank you to the incredible teachers/staff who helped facilitate the dance. We cannot put on fun events without our Panda volunteers!

Our kids really needed this dance! Check out the videos on your grades' Facebook page.

Next up is the 6th grade dance, Friday, March 4. Tickets will be sold on Wednesday, March 2 during lunch. We are still looking for chaperones and other volunteers. Please see sign up genius below.

Pershing will open its doors Wednesday, March 9th from 5:30 - 7:30 for incoming/prospective students to tour the school.

Please email pershingproud@gmail.com, if you or your student would like to volunteer giving tours and answering questions.

We are busily planning our Family Bingo Night! We are looking for prize donations & volunteer. Please email pershingpres@gmail.com to help!

Have a wonderful week!!

Donations Needed

SNACKS! SNACKS! SNACKS!

The Wraparound Department provides students with the non-academic supports necessary to be successful in school; including access to mental and physical health professionals, food, housing, and more.

Pershing’s WrapAround specialist, Ms. Rushing, keeps snacks on site at Pershing to distribute to students.

Are you able to help with a snack donation? Items needed: granola bars, pop tarts, chips and fruit snacks.

Please consider adding one of these items to your grocery shopping for our students. You can bring it into the front office to be given to the WrapAround Department.

Any questions? Please contact alesha.rushing@houstonisd.org.
