Huge congratulations to PC North Senior, Kha Truong! 🤩 Through the QuestBridge National College Match Scholarship, Kha has been named a finalist and recipient of a full-ride plus expenses four-year scholarship to Stanford University!
The QuestBridge Match Program has over 25,500 applicants, 7,288 finalists, and this year, only 2,627 finalists matched with 52 college partners, which are all prestigious private universities. This highly competitive program connects high-achieving students who would otherwise not have the resources to attend prestigious private universities with opportunities to propel them to lives of fulfillment, meaning, and purpose.

Meet Putnam City's newest celebrity, Lovely Zuniga Sosa, a 4th grader at Overholser Elementary! 🤩 A couple of months ago, author Scott Reintgen visited and talked with students about his popular books and gave students an opportunity to enter a nationwide contest to be written into his next book as an actual character! Well, skip to now and we have a winner! So now we're left wondering... is Lovely technically fiction or nonfiction? 📚
These 6th-grade Capps students are solving more than just math problems; they are making a difference in the community! After collecting food for the Capps Food Pantry in November, they decided they wanted to go even bigger for December. A group of about 100 students collected food and donated it all to City Center. Their math teacher, Mr. Cobb, said his goal is to instill in his students to "see a need...meet a need." 🤗
On this last day of school before Winter Break, the halls were filled with laughter, joy, and holiday cheer. ❄️ From cozy holiday PJs to jingling holiday parties, it was a perfect day to deck the halls with memories that will last all season long. 🎄
It was a chilly morning and the Kirkland Pirates were settled in for a story in the library when out walks The Grinch! Or, was it their Librarian?! With a mischievous grin from Grinch and some giggles from the students, they read "How The Grinch Stole Christmas" together with a fun twist. We think they all learned a little something about the holiday spirit and kindness. 💚
