PCF is planning an exciting event on March 29th that we hope you can attend!  As a little backstory...we are hoping to replace our beloved Pirate Ship at the Walter T. Rohrer Stadium at Palisades High School.  The current ship, although in disrepair, is a quirky icon enjoyed by our community and envied by many!  PCF is hoping to build a new structure that is attractive, sound and continues to serve as a rugged mascot for all ages in Palisades to enjoy!  We are in the process of researching options to replace the current ship with a structure that will be safe and live on for more than just a few years.  Purchase your tickets now to enjoy food, music, prizes and fun on the evening of Saturday, March 29th!  Thank you for your continued support of PCF and we hope you share an enjoyable adult night out with neighbors and friends!  We hope to see you there!

PALISADES HIGH SCHOOL CHORAL STUDENTS TAKE ON NYC:

Below is a video from the high school choir performing on the USS Intrepid. It was very very windy so they were singing as loudly and proudly as possible despite the high winds! On board, the students ate in the mess hall, explored cabins, heard from Veterans, and viewed aircraft and spacecrafts.  What a fabulous experience for our high school students!

CSOs Grace and Kaya described the impact that Palisades academic and afterschool STEM experiences have had on them to attendees representing state science leaders from every state. Our students spoke on behalf of and represented students from across Pennsylvania and were very well received and their experience greatly appreciated by the decision makers in the room! Excellent work Grace and Kaya!
