Ask any alum about what made PCD a great school while he or she was here and you'll get the same answer: the people, the relationships, the community. Ask around the campus today and the answer hasn't changed much. People love the school because they love its people. Take it from us: we here at @PCD speak with a lot of community members and the degree to which they echo the same thoughts about the power of PCD relationships is unusual for a school.
So perhaps it should have come as no surprise that 84 people would turn out for a morning of work along the nature trail behind Lund Hall. It was an event celebrating the power of the school's community to positively shape its physical campus. Those 84 participants wanted to show that they wanted to personally help the school grow. And yet, no one involved in the event really anticipated such a turnout. The event took place on a Saturday morning at 9 AM, an early time indeed for the 41 PCD Middle and Upper Schoolers who showed up on Saturday. The weather was cold and, at the outset, gray. The project was indeed work, involving lifting, removing rocks, raking, and picking up trash. Outside of the promise of coffee and cider donuts, and a couple of community service hours, there was no incentive for any individual to show up.Click "read more" below to see the rest of the story and a whole lot more photos.
