COVID didn’t stop us from delivering Pie Day to the fantastic staff of Placer High School! Thank you teachers and faculty for all you do every day but especially this year with so many challenges.

BIG shout out to Mike and Baked & Brewed. Friends of Placer High School purchased pastries for the teachers on their first day of students. Mike not only charged us way less than he should have, but he donated more than double the goodies! Go give him some business!!

This year, the wish list includes books, calculators, drills for Mechatronics, frames for the art department, specimens for Anatomy, soil testing kits for Environmental Science, and a field trip to the Crocker Art Museum for Humanities.
