If you are having problems viewing your child's explorer projects, try this free conversion site that works with whatever you already have loaded on your computer. I hope this helps. Technology is great, but it doesn't always work the way we want it to. I've tried talking to my computer, but that doesn't seem to help. ;) Good luck! j

Dress for Success

What is Dress for Success?

Dress for Success is when students, teachers, and staff in a school dress up for a school day. They wear clothing that is clean, neat, and appropriate for school. The clothing is nicer than the average day clothes, because we will be showcasing our leadership skills to about 20 educators.

Why do I Dress for Success?

When we dress for success we are able to show visitors even more of our leadership skills. This shows that students and staff are working towards our mission at Pickett’s Mill Elementary and becoming a Lighthouse School.

Just for fun!

Hey kids,

Go here for some fun! Have a great weekend.

Explorer Presentations

These were recorded on a Flip Video camera and the sound might not be the best. Turn up your volume. These might take a while to load or "connect". In fact, leave the room for 20 minutes, come back and see if it is up and running. If it already played, in your absence, hit "play again" and it should come right up. Please be patient. :) . Enjoy!
