PHS FIELD TRIP: Yesterday, the PHS Holocaust Literature classes went to the Holocaust Memorial Museum in Farmington Hills. While there, they had a tour specifically designed by the education specialists at the museum to further students understanding of the curriculum of their class including the history, stories of the survivors and the implications of being a bystander. The students also had the opportunity to meet a survivor, Irene Miller, during the visit. Ms. Miller shared her story and answered questions from the students. The students also had the opportunity to purchase her signed book that detailed her experiences during the Holocaust. What an amazing learning experience for these High School students!

PCS ROBOTICS: Our seven Middle School and four High School robotics teams had a successful event on Saturday, November 13. Three of our teams earned major judged awards:
- The MS team W.H.A.M. was presented with the Design Award
- MS team ReeeeWired received the Create Award
- HS team If It Works team earned the Amaze Award.
These achievements are particularly impressive considering 22 of our 44 students and 10 of our 13 coaches were participating in their first (ever) VEX Robotics Tournament!
Our teams' robots performed well, too. MS teams Geared Up and W.H.A.M. made it to the quarter-final round and MS team ReeeeWired and their alliance partner lost in the semi-finals to the eventual tournament winners.
Congratulations to everyone who participated and a special thank you to all the parents and friends who attended the event to support our robotics program. Trojan pride!
