Pacific Elementary School

As we look toward the 2020-2021 school year, the Health office has put together some important updates below:

As our term as PTA Co-Presidents comes to an end, we would like to take a moment and say thank you to the entire Pacific community for all of the volunteer hours and support. We are excited to introduce Jennifer Gale and Faye Cavanaugh, who will be the new PTA Co-Presidents. Jennifer is a mom to an incoming 5th and 3rd grader and Faye has an incoming 5th grader. Together they bring years of experience on both the PTA board and working in the classrooms. We look forward to their leadership! Thanks, Maya Clem & Wysh Weinstein
