Happy Back-to-School Week, Pfaff Pumas!

We were excited to capture a few special moments as our Pfaff students kicked off the new school year! Superintendent Dr. Hoffman and Principal Dr. Thompson visited classrooms, welcomed students, and helped make everyone feel right at home on their first day.

But while we were able to capture a few smiles.... we know our Pfaff families captured some special First Day of School moments, too!

📸 Parents and families, we would LOVE for you to share your photos with us! Whether it was a photo before heading out the door or celebrating after a great first day, send them our way for a chance to be featured in our upcoming Back-to-School Photo Reel on the District website and social media
