PDS Specialties/This & That
Librarian for the Day

What a fun day your child will have working alongside Mrs. Ewart as our PDS Librarian! Your young librarian will:

  • Check out books to students using the ever-coveted barcode scanner.
  • Pick the read aloud book for the day.
  • Read to visiting Pre-K and Kindergarten students.
  • Help shelve books.
  • And last but certainly not least, enjoy a special treat with two friends and Mrs. Ewart after a hard day of work is done.

 This might be the best day ever!!

Bowling in Candyland

Your child and up to three (3) friends will strike up the fun with Miss McFarland and Ms. Pursley! We will meet at Lucky Strike at the Montgomery Mall in Bethesda for an afternoon of bowling and snacks. It is sure to be a memorable time that is right up your alley. This is how we roll!

GRASP Priority Pass for the 2023-2024 School Year
GRASP Priority Pass allows families to ‘jump’ the line and be the first to submit their GRASP registration form (for supervised play and enrichment classes). Get all the classes you want for the entire 2023-2024 school year! Families are still responsible to pay for GRASP fees each semester.
Pig's Party with Mrs. Najaka

Pure pandemonium for your pupil plus three (3) pals during a positively phenomenal Pig picnic with pizza, punch, and prizes in the Phonovisual room this spring with Mrs. Najaka. Priceless! 

Artwork for the Head of School Office with Ms. Booth

Mr. Mufson is always on the lookout for that perfect work of art as a statement piece. Cue your budding artist to fill this request! He/she will work with art teacher, Ms. Booth, during the 2023-2024 school year on subject matter and design and will work collaboratively to create the finished piece (three 60-minute sessions with Ms. Booth). The piece will be framed and ceremoniously take a place of prominence in the Head of School office. How cool is that? daVinci himself would be impressed.

Strawberry Picking with Ms. McDanald & Ms. Mendelson at Butler's Orchard

Spend a juicy and delicious afternoon strawberry picking at Butler's Orchard with Ms. McDanald and Mrs. Mendelson. Four (4) children will enjoy a picnic lunch, fruit picking and other fun activities.

Phonovisual Guest Teacher
Is your second grader a Phonovisual Expert? Give them a chance to show off what they know as a guest teacher! One second grader will have the unique opportunity to teach a Phonovisual lesson (with the help of Mrs. Najaka, of course!) to a kindergarten class. Your senior citizen is sure to hold onto this special memory as they move beyond the halls of PDS.
Picnic in the Park with Ms. Layton and Ms. Moshyedi

Glen Echo Park is the perfect place to play and picnic with Pre-K friends! Your child and three friends will enjoy the playground, carousel, and picnic with Ms. Layton and Ms. Moshyedi!  What a perfect play date!

Scavenger Hunt/Water Play After-Hours Extravaganza with Mrs. D'Andrea

Do you enjoy scavenger hunts? Mrs. D'Andrea has teamed up with Beako to hide clues around PDS! Will you be able to successfully decipher each message and locate the hidden treasure? Five (5) students will join forces with Mrs. D'Andrea to explore the school after hours. Running in the hallways may even be permitted during this once-a-year event! After tackling the cryptic poems and locating the treasure, you will cool off by participating in a water play jamboree, followed by a fun craft, pizza (or other preferred dinner choice), and ice-cream sundaes! Each child will also receive a bag of goodies to celebrate the end of the school year and the beginning of summer fun!

Carpool Announcer
One lucky student will assist Mr. Mufson as he manages the exciting job of carpool announcer! Mr. Mufson will hand over his walkie-talkie to your child, who will announce the names as cars arrive on campus for afternoon dismissal. Don't miss out on this fun leadership opportunity!
