From their first bell to the last…🔔💚

Yesterday marked the start of a brand new PCSD32 tradition: the "Ring the Bell" ceremony, bringing together our seniors and our kindergarteners.

It was an incredible reminder of one of our 8 core values—School Spirit & Traditions—and the lasting bond that connects every generation of our Pirate family.

We are so grateful to Ashley Wibbenmeyer Photography for capturing the magic of this day so beautifully!

Thank you Primary Center and High School Admin for making this happen 💚🤍
