Dear PAML Families, To start things off this week I’d like to introduce you to our brand new PAML logo. This new image was approved by the EMUU board recently and we’re excited to share it with you here. You’ll see this image pop-up on our letterhead soon and we’ll be looking for other ways to get our logo “out there” in the future. …
Dear PAML Families, I am pleased to report that we just completed a very successful evacuation drill this morning.

It was a truly wonderful event and I particularly enjoyed the opportunity to have our 4th grade band members participate alongside our 5th-8th grade students. One highlight of the event for me …
Dear PAML Families, Yesterday we waved good-bye as our 7th graders departed for their overnight field trip. We are so excited that our students are once again able to take part in these experiences. The 7th grader’s departure this morning feels like the unofficial kick-off to “field trip” season. Each grade level has at least one significant experience off campus between now and the …
