Have we got a summer for you! PDS Summer Adventures happily invites you to join us as we debut for summer use our new state of the art facilities. A climbing wall, ropes course, additional gymnasium, a multipurpose field to add to our football field, multiple playgrounds, and an extraordinary EC building help us extend and expand our offerings. In addition, joining me this year are two respected colleagues, Ross Spain and Alice Parker. Ross is our Dean of Students. He has put together an ambitious, fun-filled program of sports and day camps that will provide your child with exercise and memories that will last a lifetime. Alice, reading specialist and tutor extraordinaire, will direct our new tutoring center. Whether your child needs one-on-one tutoring in a particular subject or just wants a leg up for the coming year, we have a place for him or her. I welcome Ross’ and Alice’s experience and expertise in their respective fields. Enrichment? We haven’t forgotten the part that enrichment camps and classes play in summer. Your child can practice Taekwondo, learn Yoga, catch up on summer reading, create art, play the guitar, prepare French food, and invest time in technology, just to name a few. We at PDS are excited about our Summer Adventures and hope that you can be here! BEVERLY KIRKSCEY Director of Auxiliary Programs 901.842.4609 • FAX 901.327.7564 bkirkscey@pdsmemphis.org
