Pfaff Beach Day is one of the most treasured days of the year for our students. For the past six years Indian Valley Bulk Carriers inc has donated sand for our Pumas to have an authentic beach day, and we can't thank them enough for their generosity.

We also want to thank Milford Township - for removing our sand for the past 15 years and placing it at the Molasses Creek Volleyball courts. Just check out this Before (at beach day) and After (the sand is gone!).

We are truly grateful for these community partnerships and can't thank you enough for making this day possible for our students!

This week, our graduating seniors participated in the "Senior Strut," where they returned to their former elementary schools: Neidig, QE, Pfaff, Richland, and Trumbauersville to walk the hallways and see former teachers.

Seniors were welcomed with cheers, high-fives, and smiles from current students celebrating their upcoming graduation. For some seniors, the day was especially meaningful as they reunited with younger siblings currently attending their former schools. A few even celebrated the occasion with a piggyback ride through the hallways.

These visits provided a wonderful opportunity to reflect on how far our seniors have come and to inspire our youngest learners as they continue their own educational journeys. Congratulations to the Class of 2026!
