🛡️❤️ PCSC Safety & Security: Working Together for Our Students
Keeping our students safe, healthy, and ready to learn takes more than one person — it takes continued learning, strong relationships, and collaboration across our community!
Recently, PCSC School Resource Officer Bridget Hite traveled to Indianapolis to attend a conference hosted by the Indiana Department of Homeland Security’s Office of School Safety. Opportunities like these help our safety professionals continue learning, strengthen their skills, and bring valuable knowledge back to our schools.
Closer to home, PCSC Director of Safety and Security Ward Byer participated in a community meeting hosted by the Marshall County Health Department with Indiana State Health Commissioner Dr. Lindsay Weaver. Ward shared about the collaborative relationship between PCSC and the Health Department and how these partnerships help us support the health and well-being of our students.
From strengthening school safety practices to building partnerships that promote student wellness, our Safety and Security team is committed to creating environments where every student can feel safe, supported, and ready to succeed.
We’re proud of the work happening behind the scenes and grateful for the community partnerships that help make it possible. Together, we're building a safer, healthier future for our PCSC students! ❤️

🎶❤️ A Little Music, A BIG Message! ❤️🎶
Our Washington Discovery Academy students had a special visit today from Steve Seskin, co-writer of the powerful song “Don’t Laugh at Me” and the author of seven #1 songs! 🎤✨
Through music, stories and meaningful conversations, Steve helped our students explore bullying prevention, kindness, empathy and the importance of treating others with respect.
Sometimes a song can say what words alone can’t, and today, our students were reminded that the way we treat one another matters.
A huge thank-you to Honeywell Arts in Education for bringing Steve to WDA and helping us create an experience our students can learn from and carry with them long after the music stops.
🎶 Be kind. Be considerate. Be someone who makes others feel like they belong. ❤️🖤

📚❤️ A little storytime, a lot of smiles!
Last week, our Washington Discovery Academy kindergarteners welcomed a special guest reader: Superintendent Dr. Pamela Campbell! 🥰
From listening to the story to sharing smiles and excitement, it was a sweet reminder of just how special these early learning years are. 📖✨
At PCSC, we love seeing our students learning, growing, and building a love for learning from day one. And we’re always excited when our district leaders get the chance to step into the classroom and be part of those moments!
Little learners today. Big dreams tomorrow. ❤️🤍🖤
